Can you deliver an ITC First Outdoor First Aid course at our site?
Yes. We run the 16-hour, 2-day Outdoor & Forest School First Aid course at your own venue anywhere in the UK, and it can be certificated as an Ofqual regulated Level 3 qualification awarded by ITC First. ITC First is the awarding organisation; First Aid For All delivers the training. You choose the accreditation when you book, so the same course also runs under our Training Industry Body (TIB) accreditation.

Outdoor and Forest School First Aid Training Description
Outdoor First Aid for forest schools and other outdoor activities involving children and adults.
NOTE: this is a 16 hour course split over 2 days: 8 hours per day. This is a longer day than most other first aid courses.
IMPORTANT: please bring suitable clothing and footwear. Some of the first aid training is delivered outdoors (even in bad weather).
The course syllabus covers all the skills and knowledge required in the following nationally recognised qualifications:
- Emergency First Aid at Work (6 hour)
- Paediatric First Aid (12 hour)
- Outdoor and Forest School First Aid (16 hour)
Which certificate you receive depends on the accreditation you choose when booking. On our Training Industry Body (TIB) accredited courses, a single certificate covers all three qualifications. On our Ofqual regulated ITC First course you choose one qualification β Outdoor First Aid or Forest School First Aid β with Paediatric First Aid available as a paid option. Please contact us if you are unsure which you need.
The training also covers the +F (forestry) first aid training requirement.
The training covers adult, child, and baby casualties.
This course meets the requirements of various national governing bodies such as British Association of Snowsport Instructors, British Canoeing/Paddle UK, British Cycling, and Lowland and Mountain Leader, among others. Please check your specific governing body and insurance requirements, and contact us to discuss if you are unsure of compliance.
On open/public courses we have identified suitable areas within walking distance, but for private courses (at your own venue) we need to discuss this in detail: not all workplaces will be in a suitable location for this course to be delivered.
