Students must have an unexpired 40hr Wilderness First Aid course to enroll in this program. This course is designed for students who may want to upgrade their AWFA training to a WFR certification. During this course we will review the basics and then cover topics in more detail to get you up to the 80 hour wilderness first aid standard.

There will also be more time to practice scenarios. Only WMC graduates can take a Bridge course to upgrade to WFR.
