This highly adaptable course is tailored made to fit organisations overseas missions. Whether it's working at altitude, rainforest or the desert - we tailor make scenarios and learning objectives to align with organisational risks and threats whilst deployed overseas.

RAFA teaches learners to stabilise a casualty until medical evacuation is possible. The course is designed to enhance learners pre-existing first aid knowledge but out in the field, whilst working in complex environments.
This is a 40% pracical and 60% scenario based First Aid Course that will leave learners with a good grasp of how to deal with casualties in remote and often challenging environments.
