First Aid Courses

First Aid Training, Specialising in the Outdoors


BASP unique experiential learning:

Our Trainers are experienced Ski, Mountain, Mountain Bike and Water-based Rescue personnel with a wealth of practical ‘hands on’ experience and first aid knowledge.

All our Trainers regularly deal with casualties using first aid in an outdoor and work environment; this keeps their delivery of first aid training fresh, current and relevant. This enables them to relate to the candidates situation alongside sharing their practical experience of real life first aid incidents. The Trainer will adapt the course ensuring their delivery of outdoor scenarios is invaluable to the candidates, according to their needs.

We train candidates to be Safe, Confident Responders by the end of their course:

Our courses are suitable for all the UK National Governing Body awards (e.g ML, WML, MIA, MIC, IML, BMC, MBLA, BHPA, RYA, BCU, BASI and other sports – Please note this list is reviewed regularly but the NGB’s can change their requirements at anytime so please check with them direct prior to booking a course with us).
