Remote First Aid

Courses & Training

Part of the Remote First Aid training is taught in an outdoor setting and requires greater physical activity and endurance than typical first aid training.

Wilderness and remote environments require specialized skills, equipment and training. Whether you are an outdoor recreation enthusiast, live or work in a wilderness or remote setting, or work as a professional rescuer — Red Cross offers specialized training to meet your needs.

The Canadian Red Cross Remote First Aid Program is one of the leading programs of its kind in Canada. Our newly updated program includes:

  • Fully updated course content and resources
  • Wilderness & Remote Field Guide
  • Learning activities and scenarios with real-life situations specifically designed for wilderness and remote environments.
  • Significant opportunities for hands-on learning with a significant portion of the courses taught in an outdoor setting so participants get the most effective learning experience possible.

Please note: this course can be taken in combination with Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C, which is a workplace course in Alberta. Please contact Titan regarding your options for combing Remote and Standard First Aid.
