Adventure Ready First Aid Training
Tell the story, don't be the story...
You don't need to be a medic. You don't need a formal qualification.
But if you enjoy walking, riding, camping, travelling or exploring the outdoors, it's good to be prepared. A few practical skills and the confidence to act can make a real difference to you and your friends. So you can continue to share your adventures for many years to come.
Adventure Ready First Aid is a practical outdoor course designed for ordinary people who want to feel more confident when things don't go to plan.
This course combines a practical first aid course with exploring the Chiltern Hills. Coombe Hill is one of the highest viewpoints in the Chilterns (852 feet). The trail directly overlooks Chequers, the official country residence of the UK Prime Minister. An immersive 6 hour experience combines realistic scenarios, practical skills and expert instruction in the environment where incidents actually happen.
The training is ideal for walkers, mountain bikers, hikers, climbers and adventure travellers.
Our training is practical. Scenario-led. Confidence building.

“Having just completed the Outdoor Pursuits 16 Hour First Aid L3 with Bruce at Invenio Training, I can vouch whole heartedly for this being an outstanding and invaluable program- The importance of "realistic" role play in an outdoor environment (fantastic location at that) can't be understated, with Bruce building out a community/supportive environment during the course (and post course support). Everything rooted in thought provoking realism (including social dynamics)- driven of course by Bruce's real world experience. 3 days after the course I was at a cycling event where there was a polytrauma including suspected collapsed lung- I had the confidence to take the lead and act as first aider- familiarity with assessment, process , decision making and using the First aid apparatus available. You never know when its going to get real - Thanks Bruce for opening my eyes and being a great mentor to us all.”.
