Outdoor First Aid Training for Professionals 

Professional Outdoor First Aid (OFA) and Advanced Outdoor First Aid (AOFA) training for instructors, leaders, and expedition teams operating beyond immediate help. 
 
Designed for real environments and real decision-making, our courses prepare you to manage medical incidents calmly and effectively when conditions are challenging and resources are limited. 

Built on Recognised Outdoor & Wilderness Standards 

Our 16-hour and 35-hour Outdoor First Aid courses align with internationally recognised wilderness medicine and outdoor education frameworks, including those used by the Wilderness Medical Society and the Institute of Outdoor Learning. 
 
This alignment ensures your training reflects current best practice and supports progression from UK-based outdoor leadership through to expedition and overseas environments.

“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.”.
