WIlderness first aid classes

I have seen 2 topics on first aid and have come to realize that i am no way near as close to being prepared for this as i should be. I did some research and didnt really find any Wilderness First aid courses here locally in Socal. Has anyone taken any courses out here? If so which one and how did you like it?

i was looking at this class but i didnt see any somewhat local classes.

Raul,

NOLS runs regular WFA classes in SoCal. The Wilderness First Aid, Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness EMT (same as WFR, but you already need EMT) are the most relevant classes for what most outdoor folks do.

Here is where I would look:

(Be sure to search 2-3 months out, as the July one is full)

thats exactly what i was looking at. Looks like the next closest to me would be the weekend before Appalachian rendezvous in october. Or i could head up to mammoth to do that one early october.

Since im driving to NC for the Appalacian rendzvous i doubt i would do the one at Manhattan beach. but the Mammoth one looks great. Is anyone interested in going up to Mammoth to take this class with me?
