Overview
The Wilderness First Responder Recertification (WFRR) course is a 24-hour course taught by NOLS. The WFRR course is designed to update and recertify your skills in making critical medical and evacuation decisions in remote locations.
Hands-on, meet online. Enjoy a newly formatted Wilderness First Responder Recertification, which includes an online component in addition to the traditional scenarios and skills!
Pre-work allows you to review the curriculum at your own pace, and focus on the hands-on element during your two days on course. You’ll just need to complete all online components, including a written exam, prior to the course.
You’ll learn both in the classroom and in outdoor settings regardless of weather, so come prepared for wet, muddy, cold or hot environments!
