Testimonials

"The Wilderness First Responder course taught by Wilderness Medical Consultants was the most comprehensive I have taken to date. I enjoyed the credibility and real life experience provided in the instruction from both Shelley and John. It's one thing for a "First Aid Instructor" who has learned about first aid techniques from other instructors, who may or may not have actually seen and dealt with the injuries they are speaking about, to try and teach the material. It's another when the instructor can say "Well, last week when I was working in the ER, a person was presented to me with -------- and this is what it looked like and how I treated it". I felt this form of credibility to be very important. I found both John and Shelley to be good instructors; able to convey the material in an effective manner. I also found the scenario based training and adult based learning environment to be very beneficial. In a nutshell, I would recommend their course to others and I plan on sending other members of my team for the WIlderness First Responder Course again in the future." P. Hodges
