2 DAYS Forest School & Paediatric First Aid 16 Hours 2 days 9th and 10th October 2025

The requirements for Forest School first aid can be met by completing an ITC Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid.  However, many groups prefer or require context specific and tailored training involving infants for instance, with a tailored, contextualised approach to content often mixing elements of infant/child/adult training as determined by the group.  This training course is designed to provide that flexibility.

This course is designed to provide outdoor incident management skills.  Typical delivery methods are predominantly practical, with elements occurring out of doors in outdoor clothing and on various terrains.
