Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is a nationally recognized standard in wilderness medicine education. WFA certification courses train individuals to respond to emergency situations that may be encountered in remote settings such as backcountry and wilderness areas. Students are encouraged to complete an approved WFA course at their earliest opportunity, and they will be required to hold current WFA certification at the time of graduation. Certification is valid for three years.
