First Aid Training for Forest School (& Outdoor Woodland Learning)
Forest School Leaders are required to have an adequate and appropiate First Aid Certificate in place before you run your Forest School Programmes.
As a training organisation, FSTC strongly recommends that the First Aid qualification is:
At least sixteen-hour long
An Outdoor Specific Course
Cover the age groups you work with
And is updated every 3 years

In England, we recommend the 2-day ITC Outdoor Forest School First Aid course. The context for this training course is Forest School and as such the discussion, practice and outdoor scenarios are suited to Forest School situations. The course is taught in a 'Forest School way', using small achievable chunks, repetition and scaffolding. It is very hands-on and includes outdoor role-play scenarios, so you will need to wear suitable outdoor clothing!
