Sirius has developed the bridge course for those who want to upgrade their certification from Advanced Wilderness First Aid to Wilderness First Responder.

In addition to a brief review of the material covered in the 40-hour program, the bridge course focuses primarily on the advanced material and skills included in the WFR program. This training is intended for search and rescue teams, outdoor professionals who work in remote areas, and anyone needing a solid foundation in pre-hospital emergency care in remote areas.

I have participated in two wilderness first aid training courses with Momenta, one hosted at my field research station and one at the Momenta office. Both courses were delivered with a perfect combination of leadership, patience, clarity, real-world examples, practical experience, good humour, and sincerity. The course contains a somewhat daunting amount of information, but the precise, organized delivery by Momenta staff meant that my colleagues and I could easily take in the information and put the practical skills to use. I feel more prepared to deal with emergencies in the field, having taken these courses!

Momenta’s instructors are incredible. As a student, I was fully engaged in the course material and walked away feeling super confident and excited to apply the skills I had learned in the field. Ten out of ten!
