ITC Level 3 Award in Forest School First Aid
The requirements for Forest School first aid can be met by completing an ITC Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid. However, many groups prefer or require context specific and tailored training involving infants for instance, with a tailored, contextualised approach to content often mixing elements of infant/child/adult training as determined by the group. This training course is designed to provide that flexibility.
