Customer Reviews
Our two stellar NOLS instructors from the US provided a great mix of classroom time and hands-on scenarios to dust off our knowledge and skills.
The course started with a short test, then our instructors asked us to share one topic we wanted to learn more about and one skill we especially wanted to practice. They then made sure to incorporate our expectations into the schedule.
NOLS keeps adapting their course materials and standards to the latest medical research, so we were also updated on changes that had been made since our original WFR training.
I find courses like these invaluable for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities, and I really enjoyed the three days of learning and practicing with my fellow Wilderness First Responders. Icelandic Mountain Guides even offered transfer for international participants which was highly appreciated.
