Introduction
For many years Climbmts have provided a wide range of first aid courses specialising
in specific wilderness emergency care training. Although our courses are predominantly
aimed at the outdoor practitioner who instructs or leads outdoor activities,
our wilderness based emergency care courses are open to all who have a personal
interest in developing robust wilderness first aid skills, or those who need
recognised certified training to validate outdoor NGB qualifications. |
Additionally,
we offer a rescue and safety training consultancy to many different
end users. Our client base encompasses
many large outdoor organisations and mountain rescue teams throughout the UK.
The calibre and experience of our trainers, consultants and partners
sets us apart from other emergency care training providers. All
of our trainers are specialists in wilderness medical and trauma
problems and have a wealth of experience in adventure pursuits to
support the delivery of high quality training. Moreover, they also
know how to teach in a fun, but professional manner, and will always
adapt to your specific training needs.
We firmly believe in achieving the very best quality of delivery
at all levels of training, including event support and consultancy
services. Furthermore, we can assure you we have the right
expertise to make training relevant and realistic to your circumstances. |
