The Environmental Programmes Student Society (EPSS) will be hosting wilderness first aid courses from April 27th –to May 5th. The courses are being offered through Wilderness Medical Associates (WMA) Canada, leaders in remote and practical medicine. The certificate programs are for outdoor enthusiasts, guides, professionals and researchers who find themselves in remote areas where 911 is not an option.
EPPS will be offering the 40hr Advance Wilderness First Aid (WAFA) course, the 80hr Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course as well as a 40hr bridge course. The bridge course will be for individuals who already have their WAFA but wish to upgrade to the WFR level.
We have not yet determined the final prices, we are hoping to receive a grant from the DSS to help defray costs.
