Most people don't have the time to attend a two-day, sixteen-hour Wilderness First Aid Course. We make training convenient and available on your own terms.

The School of First Aid's Wilderness First Aid course covers over forty topics using concise, to-the-point presentations, illustrations, demonstrations, and downloadable handouts. This course is an entire Wilderness First Aid Course that you can enjoy without spending an entire weekend in a classroom.

The WFA Certificate Course is perfect for anyone who desires the comprehensive first aid training provided by the course, but does not require a proctored skills assessment and WFA Certification for employment.

Student Feedback

Your book is considered essential!! It is next to water, shelter, and fire lol!

You made this experience so much better than the crash course that's offered through my work. I know I’m more prepared and confident! Your book is considered essential!! It is next to water, shelter, and fire lol! Won’t go on any adventure without it. Thank you for taking the time and making all these resources available. Because of you, I’ll be able to confidently guide and make sure the clients on our trips are in good hands! I’ll be back in 2 years for my recertification!

The best WFA course ever.

This is the best WFA course I have ever taken. I have taken WFA 3 times in the last six years and this is by far the best. Jeff does not waste your time with war stories. He gets right to the point explaining each concept in a way that everyone can understand.

Excellent course

Again, I can not compliment you enough for your excellent material and your awesome personality. You were a pleasure to meet, work with and learn from.  I was nervous but after a few minutes felt so comfortable and confident.   I will be purchasing your course for some of our staff who take our kids backpacking in the next few months.  Again, thank you for all you are doing!

Great course and textbook

The Wilderness First Aid Made Easy course has given me confidence that I can handle emergencies that may arise in the wilderness. While providing certification, in-person courses have left me feeling overwhelmed and anxious that I wouldn’t remember to do the right thing. Jeffrey Imel’s book, carefully guiding the Wilderness First Aid provider with checklists for dealing with a range of challenges, combines beautifully with his online presentations: I am equipped for any difficulties or crises in the great outdoors!

This course is a game-changer!

This course is a game-changer. Every first aid course I have taken involves reading a book, watching a PowerPoint during a long-winded lecture, taking lots of notes, and then figuring out how to put it all together when I need to use the first aid training. The textbook using the flow diagrams makes a complex and multi-step subject easy to understand and remember. Your video presentations are to the point and didn't waste my time. The book is going in my backpack and I downloaded the app to my phone. Thanks much for this course.
