WFR Recertification (WFRR)

Course Description
This course is fast-paced and engaging. You’ll spend half your time outside of the classroom doing hands-on skills and realistic scenarios. In addition to scenarios, you’ll participate in two full-scale mock rescues, one of which may be at night. The course also includes an American Heart Association Healthcare Provider CPR certification. You’ll be taught by dynamic instructors who have practiced both wilderness and urban medicine.

Class Format
The WFR Recertification will reinforce and build upon the knowledge already acquired and will focus primarily on practical skills and wilderness rescue scenarios. We suggest you prepare for your Wilderness First Responder Recertification course by studying prior to the course start date. Students who are the most successful, report that they reviewed their textbook and studied their notes from their previous course. Attendance is required for all scheduled classes. Scenarios and practice sessions will take place both inside and outside. Simulated rescues will take place outside, rain or shine.

Prerequisites
The Wilderness First Responder Recertification course is open to graduates of all WFR courses of 70 hours or longer with a current WFR certification or a WFR certification that is expired less than one-year.

Certifications
Participants are required to pass both written and practical examinations to obtain CPR and WFR certification. Successful course completion earns you a National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR) WFR certification, a Health and Safety Institute (HSI) BLS certification, and an Epinephrine Auto-Injector certification. All certifications are valid for two years.
