You’re hiking with a group of friends when one of them becomes seriously injured. You call for an ambulance but you know it won’t arrive for hours. Would you know what to do?

 

People that work or play in remote areas often require  more realistic training  than an 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.​
