Forestry First Aid courses in North Wales and beyond

Our Forestry First Aid course has been designed to provide the knowledge and competence for a learner to deal with emergency first aid situations in a forestry/agricultural environment.

Our Level 3 Award in Forestry First Aid course is regulated by The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual). Don’t accept anything else!

This qualification is designed to supplement a First Aider’s existing First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification and covers the recommended topics stated in the Forestry Commission First Aid policy 2015.

This course is typically delivered as a two-hour ‘bolt-on’ to an Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work course.

Over the two hours, we’ll cover a range of forestry first aid topics including:

Emergency planning and remote medical assistance
Catastrophic bleeding control
Crush injuries
Effects of extreme cold
Lyme disease

Simon was a brilliant instructor, I had a great weekend. I cannot recommend highly enough and would happily do another course with MountainXperience.

Have just attended an Outdoor First Aid award. Simon’s enthusiasm, energy and passion for what he does is infectious. Simon has an incredible ability to turn what could otherwise be a very dry subject (first aid) into something fun and engaging, by choosing a variety of teaching methods which take you out of the classroom and get you learning in a practical, hands on way.

Just returned from an Outdoor First Aid Course with MountainXperience, led by Simon Pearce. The course was delivered in a highly professional manner by exceptionally engaging instructor. Knowledgeable in all areas on First Aid. Will be looking to complete further training with MountainXperience, and fully recommend others do so too.
