Description

The WFR Bridge course upgrades the Wilderness Advanced First Aid certification to a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) credential. This course must be taken within 3 years of receiving the WMA International WAFA certification or an equivalent from another provider. The WFR is the definitive medical training course for all outdoor professionals and enthusiasts. This course may be used as a recertification for those holding a current WFR certification or equivalent from another provider whose original WFR training was at least 64 hours in length. Current WMA International Wilderness EMTs may also use this course to recertify the wilderness portion of their certification. Successful completion of this course may lead to certification from Wilderness Medical Associates. Prerequisite: EMS114 Wilderness Advanced First Aid or instructor approval
