First Aid Basics
This program was designed
to meet the requirements for organizations based in the Southern Appalachian
Mountains, but is a good basic course in backcountry emergency response for almost
any location. This 16 hour course is for those who work, live or play in
remote areas – away from the usual EMS service. Even though the emergency
workers near these areas may be trained to search for and rescue those in
need, there may be a delay in the notification of assistance, the time
required to get to the patient, or in moving the patient to more advanced
treatment. It expands the concepts in First Aid: When Help is Delayed to give more detailed
information and hands-on skills practice. This class covers
assessment and urgent first aid techniques, but not in-depth CPR. Basic first
aid skills are covered, making this course appropriate for anyone regardless
of experience level. No prerequisites are required. A certification can be
issued that has an expiration of 3 years and serves as a Basic First Aid
certification as well. A minimum age of 15 is recommended for participants
due to the serious nature of the course and scenarios. The American Camping
Association has approved the American Red Cross Wilderness First Aid Basics
for the Part C First Aider in their accreditation standards. The Boy Scouts
of America have also recommended the Red Cross course. o Cost of the course: $100.00 per
student, includes all student materials
o Class size: 6 – 10 students per
session, minimum of 6
o Course length: 16 hours
