The Expediton Care Program (ECP) offers a suite of courses designed for those working in the outdoor and remote/wilderness environment.
The one day ECP Explorer and two day Exploration Outdoor First Aid courses are designed for those working in remote areas. This course is recognised by all outdoor governing bodies e.g. MLTB, BCU, IRATA, RYA etc. as well as exceeding the recommendations for the HSE recognised Appointed Person in the workplace.
The Adur Centre runs the full two day course on a monthly basis on a Saturday and Sunday. Day one more than fulfils the requirements of an Emergency First Aid at Work but with more of a focus on hands on training and what to do if you are far from help. On day two attendees will get the opportunity to learn further skills specific to remote first aid scenarios and overseas travel.
The certification is valid for three years from the date of completion.
