WMO’s Advanced Wilderness First Aid class was impressive and thorough. [on line 14 lesson class]
"I learned much more than in prior basic Wilderness First Aid certification training, and the training and instructional materials provided by Wilderness Medicine Outfitters were engaging and thorough. Pursuing this advanced certification was well worth the effort."

This class covers the handling of medical emergencies when you are away from the 911 emergency response system. It is designed to help you prevent problems. Assessment and treatment techniques are also taught in the event that outdoor backcountry problems do occur. This class is excellent for active outdoor individuals as well as beginning guides, camp counselors, and teachers. Taking this class is a good way to see if you would like to take a 72 hr. Wilderness First Responder class, often taken by skilled outdoor individuals and professional guides who are short of the time for WFR.  AWFA has  the WFR topics with less lecture time yet the student can repeat any section  for greater 
understanding. Skills can be practiced  over and over following the class videos and power points
