FROM:$350.00
Current WFRs and WEMTs who have completed a nationally recognized WFR or WEMT course can recertify by taking our Wilderness First Responder Recertification Course. The WFR Recertification is a three-day program designed to refresh information and recertify the attendees' existing certification. It functions to:
- Meet established Continuing Education requirements of the WFR or WEMT Certification
- Revisit core topics including topics they are perhaps becoming less familiar with since their certification
- Update attendees on changes in Guidelines, Protocols, and Recommendations as these changes are handed down from the Wilderness Medicine Society, Sierra Rescue, and other organizations and publications
- Give attendees the opportunity to practice challenging hands-on scenarios and refine their skills further
We believe that three days is an ideal length of time to practice your skills and refresh your abilities. The main elements of the course are skills labs and scenarios with little lecture time. Upon successful completion participants are recertified for three-years. Attendees must present proof of their current WFR or WEMT certification to the instructor before being issued their Recertification card(s). We accept WMI, WMA, WMTC, SOLO, and DMM cards. Any WFR cards issued from another company need to be cleared by us prior to registration. If you have a certification that expires before the WFR Recertification Course, contact them to request an extension.
CPR/AED is not included but is scheduled the evening of the first day of WFR Recert for those needing it. Select CPR Add-On during checkout.
