    Our 2-day (16-hour) Forest School First Aid course is specifically designed for those delivering or supporting Forest School programmes and other outdoor learning experiences. Fully accredited by the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB), this course meets the needs of Forest School leaders and educators working with children in dynamic, outdoor environments.

    While a standard Outdoor First Aid course may meet the basic requirements, this training takes a tailored approach - combining outdoor emergency care with paediatric-specific content. It reflects the real-life situations you may face in forest and woodland settings, and includes practical scenarios adapted to the needs of your group.

    This course is ideal for Forest School practitioners, early years educators, outdoor learning staff and teaching professionals who want a first aid qualification built around the unique ethos and practicalities of Forest School. With an emphasis on contextualised, hands-on learning, it equips you with the confidence and competence to manage a wide range of incidents in remote or outdoor locations.
