A brilliant, confidence-building first aid course for my adventurous teenagers. Practical skills, what-ifs, and scenario-based exercises to give them knowledge for whatever may happen.
My kids are into everything outdoors, from fishing and mountain biking to planning overnight tramping trips without their parents. This first aid course was the perfect prep. Natalie, the instructor, created a fun, safe, and memorable course that the students enjoyed. They came home talking about scenarios, showing us different techniques, and clearly feeling more capable. Highly recommend it for any young explorer starting to take more responsibility out in the wild.
