Wildland Fire & Deployment
A Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) certification is a level of training between a Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder courses. While the curriculum is similar to a Wilderness First Aid course, the WAFA allows for more hands-on practice. This certification requires 36 hours to complete, or 4 days. This includes 4 hours designated to the CPR Certification.
The WAFA course is a great option for sponsors looking for a basic level of training with extra hands-on training and scenarios with integrated CPR. Students with a WAFA certification walk away with more confidence in their practical skills and handling emergencies.
