ITC L3 Outdoor First Aid (with Paediatric)

This course is accredited by ITC, the awarding body, and is an industry-specific, two-day (16-hour) Outdoor First Aid Course for professionals working outdoors with people of all ages.

From Forest School Leaders and Outdoor Coaches, Field Studies professionals, Outdoor Education and Adventure professionals, to DofE, Guiding and Scouting Leaders, this course is for you.

The training will take place both indoors, in a modern teaching space, and outdoors with scenarios conducted in our woodland Forest School setting.

An externally regulated course that meets Ofsted EYFS workplace requirements, this course also fulfils the Institute for Outdoor Learning Band 3 Outdoor First Aid and Paediatric First Aid requirements, equipping you to handle incidents in often remote, inaccessible woodland or countryside locations, and providing you with two qualifications in one.
The course also covers the one-day First Aid at Work (EFAW) requirement and EYFS Paediatric First Aid requirements - additional certificates may be purchased by selecting "Additional Qualification" at the checkout stage.

Certificates, valid for three years, are awarded by ITC through Act Fast First Aid.
