Advanced Wilderness First Aid & CPR (AWFA 40H)
This training is now standard for outdoor professionals in wilderness areas. It is highly recommended for any worker in remote areas. The course content extends beyond that of urban first aid programs, targeting the specific needs in remote areas beyond the reach of emergency medical services.

Bridge to Wilderness First Responder (WFR 80H)
Sirius has developed the bridge course for those who would like to upgrade their certification from Advanced Wilderness First Aid to Wilderness First Responder. To be eligible for the WFR bridge course a participant must have completed AWFA in the last 12 months. In addition to a brief review of 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.
Registration fee: $700.00 + GST
Please contact us for more information or to book a private course for 8 or more people.
![Last Friday, I had a beautiful day. It began driving into the sunrise to meet a group of 26 educators to talk about outdoor learning. As they reflected about their morning, they wondered “what would it be like if all educators advocated for children to play and learn outside?”, I wonder that too.
I then made my way to Momenta’s Foresthood Inservice day excited to hear the stories from the morning. I very quickly got invited to a 100% child led museum that had an exhibit of “artichokes”, us adults may call them artifacts and an experiential art exhibit where all visitors could add their own art pieces. My museum guide was not only welcoming, but encouraged me in my art making process as well. The second photo is an oak leaf [my ticket to the museum] with two stamps showing that I attended two exhibits.
I adore outdoor play and learning, I will continue to advocate for it in all spaces. It’s good for all of us.
Do you ever wonder what would happen if we all spent more time outside? - Lise
