When working or adventuring in outdoor environments, first aid skills can make the difference between a quick recovery and a life-threatening situation. Whether you’re an outdoor activity leader, forestry worker, or a Duke of Edinburgh participant, knowing how to respond to an emergency in a remote location is essential.

At TJS Solutions, we deliver the Qualsafe Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid (RQF)—a comprehensive two-day course designed to equip learners with lifesaving skills in challenging outdoor environments.

What is the Qualsafe Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid?

This course is specifically designed for those who work or spend time in outdoor and remote locations, where emergency services may take several hours to arrive. It provides in-depth knowledge and practical training on how to manage serious injuries, medical conditions, and environmental risks when immediate medical assistance is not available.

Over two days, learners develop essential first aid skills tailored for outdoor settings, ensuring they can confidently assess situations, provide emergency care, and make crucial decisions in high-pressure situations.

What Will You Learn?

During this course, you will gain hands-on experience in:

• The roles and responsibilities of a first aider in an outdoor environment
• Assessing and managing multiple casualties in remote settings
• Stabilising and insulating casualties while awaiting emergency help
• Recognising and treating injuries such as fractures, spinal injuries, and burns
• Handling environmental factors like extreme temperatures and exposure
• Providing first aid for drowning casualties, bites, and poisoning
• Managing catastrophic bleeding and using emergency dressings
• Summoning and coordinating with emergency rescue services

This practical, scenario-based training ensures that learners are fully equipped to respond to real-world situations with calmness, efficiency, and confidence.

Who is This Course For?

This qualification is ideal for outdoor activity instructors, teachers, Duke of Edinburgh leaders, construction and forestry workers, adventure sports professionals, and event organisers involved in outdoor activities. It is also highly beneficial for anyone who works or spends time in remote environments where access to emergency services may be delayed. If your role involves leading or supervising activities in the wilderness, this industry-recognised qualification is a vital addition to your skillset, ensuring you are fully prepared to respond to medical emergencies in challenging outdoor conditions.
