Featured Course Testimonials

Boy Scout Leader

Alexis J Agostini

I was able to play back the part I had difficulty understanding. I needed it for BSA High Adventure camp, Sea Base.

Nature Therapy Guide

Gregory Frew

Online sections were helpful so I could pause the videos to take better notes. Nathan was a great instructor and made everybody feel welcome while presenting material in an engaging way.

Scouts Leader

Benjamin Grizzel

Really appreciated calling out common misconceptions or dated treatment practices, and explaining WHY the guidance has changed rather than just saying that it has. I needed the course for my Philmont trek w/ Scouts BSA.

Mom and Outdoor Leader

Amber Saft

The information was very clear and well presented - well produced

Job Requirement

Aaron Pins

Detailed, engaging, and comprehensive. It covered everything clearly and retained my interest, without providing additional, unnecessary information.

Personal Preparation

Keith Lovett

I took the wilderness first because of my "Interest and preparation." What I found really useful was the "Information on hyperthermia, OPQRST, CSM, Suggested supplies."

Over-Hydrate No Longer

Joe Facchini

There were a lot of myth busters in this course regarding spinal injuries, hydrogen peroxide, etc ... that I appreciated. I'm leading trips in hot environments so I'll be on the lookout for hyperthermia. Previously, I would've encouraged over-hydration.
