Critical Field Care
For guides, lodge staff, conservation teams, and anyone working far from medical help. Step up your skills to lead emergencies, manage complex medical situations, and act decisively in remote settings.
Beyond basic first aid
Take control in critical situations.
A buffalo attack on a walk, a guest collapses from a cardiac arrest — will you know what to do? Wilderness Response Level 2 – Critical Field Care gives you the skills to act fast and save lives.
"Our sincerest thanks for the excellent First Aid training course presented to our team. Having been involved in hospitality properties since 1995 (mostly remote lodges in Africa), this has been the most efficient and attentive course attended. Being a very remote lodge with limited medical support and facilities, we were very impressed with your interactive, very informative and incident specific training. The hands on training and interaction was critical for the team."

Before this course...
When a guest collapses on a walking safari, a hippo attacks during a river trip, a staff member is bitten by a snake, it’s easy to freeze. Doubt creeps in, moments feel longer than they should, and you’re never quite sure if you’re doing the right thing. In the wilderness, that uncertainty can turn a manageable emergency into a serious situation.
