Remote & Wilderness First Aid

People that work or play in remote areas often require more realistic training than a typical urban based First Aid course. Category 5’s RAW First Aid courses give you extended knowledge and skills to deal with situations that may occur whilst in a remote location. Our courses are scenario based which means you get hands on experience to prepare you for the real thing. They are fun, practical and very comprehensive. We use fake blood and make up to give the realistic effect.​
