The outdoor first aid course and emergency outdoor first aid courses offer practical courses aimed at the outdoors person, whether for work or relaxation. Especially useful to those who might be responsible for leading activities, or who are regularly remote from immediate medical assistance due to terrain or location.

The addition of the forestry first aid unit adds a Forestry Commission recognised qualification for all workers, as well as farmers, coppicers, woodworkers and other people who spend their time in the woods and fields and may need to be able to manage the consequences of more significant injuries.
