Come to the University of Alabama at Birmingham to take the five day full Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification. WFR is the definitive course in medical training for outdoor educators, guides, SAR team members, and others who work or play in remote areas. The curriculum is comprehensive and practical, including all of the essential principles and skills required to assess and manage medical problems in isolated and extreme environments. The 5-day format is for individuals and sponsors with less time available for on-site training and requires 25 hours of pre-course preparation.

We also offer a low cost "Camping in the Rec Center", which is optional. The price for this is $50. It includes: common floor space in a fitness studio, locker room showers, and access to a refrigerator and microwave. It is also a great way to develop a study group and interact with other students in the course. It costs an additional $50 for camping in the Rec for all classes. This $50 also includes a round trip shuttle from and to the airport and a grocery run. You may bring your own food, and there are several local restaurants within walking distance.

Students must register at least 2 weeks before the course date. All students must complete all pre-course work prior to arrival on course. The course includes books, tuition, and fees for $570, if deposit is paid by November 4, 2016. After November 4th price increases.

Pre-register on line or call our office to register (205)996-4913. There is a $250 deposit due in order to complete your registration and ensure you a spot.  This can be paid by check, credit card, or cash. You can mail a check to the address above, we can take a card over the phone, or you can stop by with cash, check, or card. Please complete your registration early as space is limited
