Customer Reviews
PATRICK H. | WFA & WFR
"Very practical, well-run course. I appreciated the learning vs mere testing
approach. I've already used some of the skills."
FRANK W. | WFR & EMT
"I'm very satisfied with the high quality of instruction at a more than fair
price. I have taken the NOLS WFR course in the past, and the only thing I miss
is the camaraderie of the in-person class. Other than that, I am happy to get
good instruction. I'll spend the money I saved on actually being in the
wilderness."
MARIE L. | WFA
"Extremely rewarding course. I've learned more than I have in previous WFA
courses run by the Red Cross. What made this better for me is the ability to
review the material until I could learn it. Having to do the hands-on assessment
[videos/photos] really ingrained a muscle/mental memory that cannot be
duplicated in an in-person class. There is not enough time during the in-person
classes for everyone to have the hands-on experience. Thank you so much."
KEITH F. | WFA
"As usual, Student Support was very fast and my questions were answered
thoroughly."
KEVIN F. | WFR
"The online curriculum was one of the biggest advantages of this course. I
enrolled at the beginning of a slow fire season working for the Division of
Forestry in Fairbanks, AK. Even when we got busy I was still able to log in and
work at my pace. I really appreciated the unique feedback. Improvised medicine
is a topic that's difficult to comprehend without actually performing these
things or learning o nthe job. The real world scenarios challenged me and gave
me insight to techniques I wasn't aware of. I spent a long time searching for a
course like this. Since gaining my EMT I've wanted to take a class that [related
to] austere environments. Not having to travel or spend potentially $800+ on a
course made me delighted when I found out about Survival Med. Thank you!"
BENJAMIN P. | WFR
"The flexibility of being able to do the course on my time over a period of
several months if needed [worked well]. The feedback on SOAP notes and videos
were always very helpful and insightful as to what I got right or wrong. Also it
never took more than a day for me to get things graded! All in all I was very
pleased with this course. I've been needing to get my WFR certification for
several years but finding a time when I could travel somewhere that offered it
has always been an obstacle. This course was very helpful. Having to submit
pictures, videos and SOAP notes makes sure you are absorbing the material. Would
recommend to anyone looking to get WFR certified!"
SCOTT R. | WFR
"The NOLS course was too much info, too fast. This course, being self-paced, was
the ticket for me. Natalie was always available to help with questions, and the
lectures were well organized. I filled out the study guide as I went through the
lectures and used that during the exam. As an alternative to the much more
expensive 8-day courses, I would highly recommend this online course."
CARYNE E. | WFR
"I was having trouble logging in and it was almost immediately addressed. As an
ICU RN, SAR and mounted search and rescue volunteer, I found this stock full of
information, and came away with many [clinical] pearls. Thank you!"
GIO C. | WFA
"I was very hesitant at first because my initial thought was: "This is too good
to be true!" BUT, it actually is and I must say that I am very pleasantly
surprised. Dr. Bonthius covers a great deal of scenarios very effective and
thoroughly. I reside in Las Vegas, NV and wilderness courses here are offered
only during the Spring and late Fall. I was about to travel out of state, pay
room and board as well as pay close to 10 times the amount of this course. This
is truly a time saver and money saver. I would HIGHLY recommend this!!! If
you're having second thoughts, don't—this is the best decision you'll ever make
for a course for Wilderness First Aid training."
GILLIAN G. | WFR
"Wow, great customer support! Quick answer and so helpful. Above and beyond. The
organization and most of all the STUDY GUIDE helped me get more out of this
course than any continuing education I've done in this field. It kept me engaged
and listening for answers and I'm certain that increased my retention. I also
will always have it to reference and brush up. I'm certain this course will save
lives and help patients. I'm better equipped to teach and serve having had this
course. Very well put together. Very worth the time and money. Highly
recommend."
BRITTANY B. | WFA
"This course was just what I needed! I was nervous about submitting a video of
me performing the skills but I actually enjoyed it. I feel more confident in my
abilities to help others in a wilderness situation. Thank you!"
LAWRENCE T. | WFR
"What a great opportunity it has been to receive training from current working
ER doctors with a passion for Wilderness Medicine. I've certified in WFR
probably 5 times and WFA countless times, in spite of familiarity with the
material I still walked away better informed and better prepared than when I
started. Easily the best value in emergency training for the layperson. The live
sessions are an added bonus and not to be missed. Great program!"
DELANEY H. | WFA
"Incredible resource! I often work outdoors far from hospitals, the general
public and cell phone service with a small team of people. This is so much more
useful than OSHA training and even general first aid courses. Thank you for
providing these lessons!"
HELEN B. | WFA
"Really enjoyed! At first I was hesitant to do an online course, unsure if I
would learn all the necessary skills for WFA. However, after having to
demonstrate my skills and receiving thorough feedback, I feel very prepared.
Thank you so much!"
DAVID R. | WFA
"A lot of information was provided in this course, some information that was
never touched on in my NOLS class. Overall, informative and easy to navigate."
JOHN F. | WFA
"Very informative and easy to follow. Our company does a lot of field work in
the Mojave Desert, in remote areas including BLM wilderness, often without cell
service. We bring a Garmin inReach, a first aid kit and off-road recovery
equipment, but now we have the one important thing missing from our field tool
kit, wilderness first aid training."
KATHLEEN R. | WFR
"I had been given a last-minute directive to have WFR within a month or lose a
seasonal job. I was about to pay MUCH more with the additional expense of
lodging for a NOLS course when I found this course. It was engaging,
stimulating, and appreciated being able to do it at home and at my own speed.
Dr. Bonthius was attentive and answered my questions quickly. It was a great mix
of online learning and the "personal" practical demonstration of skills."
GARY H. | WFA
"Very well done. I happened to have spent my career in trauma and emergency
services and now as a trauma program consultant. I learned a lot I didn't know
when it comes to wilderness medicine. I spend my free time in the mountains and
backcountry fly fishing, camping, kayaking, hiking, snowshoeing...In the
Emergency Department we have a controlled environment and supplies on hand. In
the field—mountains, backcountry, wherever—you're at the mercy of what is on
hand and your experience. This course will give you the experience and skills
you need to be prepared and have the best outcomes possible. It's extremely
affordable, well written and well done."
DANIELLE Z. | WFR
"I so appreciate the thoughtfulness and care with which your team replies every
time. So many customer service interactions these days come across as
cut-and-paste and inhuman, but you all keep surprising me with responses that
are warm, engaged, and caring about both the medical side and the human side of
this training."
GLENN T. | WFA
"This was very thorough. I've had in-person first aid several times and this has
a lot more information. I especially like the aspect of improvising materials
for splints, etc., as this is probably what you're going to have to do in the
backcountry."
MADDY P. | WFR
"I appreciated the flexibility of doing it online and having videos and images
to help with visualizing what I needed to do. I also was super impressed with
the SOAP notes grading - I was expecting a week or more but my last few were
graded in a day! I really enjoyed this class."
RAQUEL D. | WFA
"Really well set-up course. The ability to do it at your own pace is fantastic.
Very informative videos & presentations. The skills demonstrations are concise
but detailed. Getting to practice the skills and get feedback on them is also a
great way to make sure you're actually prepared to do them. The medical
scenarios were varied and interesting and gave good practice at analyzing and
deciding how to handle a situation."
AMY A. | WFA
"The course was very detailed and informative. The scenarios were realistic and
challenging. I feel better prepared to deal with medical and environmental
challenges in the wilderness."
SABRINA W. | WFR
"Loved the course, more than the in-person one I did two years go. Mainly
because I could go at my own pace and really digest the information and
internalize it rather than overwhelm and cram in a shorter period of time. The
videos, lectures and podcasts were great and drove the topics home."
PATRICK H. | WFA & WFR
"Very practical, well-run course. I appreciated the learning vs mere testing
approach. I've already used some of the skills."
FRANK W. | WFR & EMT
"I'm very satisfied with the high quality of instruction at a more than fair
price. I have taken the NOLS WFR course in the past, and the only thing I miss
is the camaraderie of the in-person class. Other than that, I am happy to get
good instruction. I'll spend the money I saved on actually being in the
wilderness."
