Wilderness First Aid Training Rwanda
In February 2024 Cory, Director of Outdoor First Aid (and a founder of First aid Training Co-operative), will be working in Rwanda running a series of Wilderness First Aid Training courses. He will be teaming up with Renson Muburu (co-trainer) and Steve Venton of Kingfisher Journeys to deliver courses for wildlife and adventure guides. He will also be helping to train and develop in first aid trainers in Rwanda to run first aid courses.
These first aid courses in Rwanda will be accredited with UK standard certification and meet the requirements of the UK’s Health and Safety Executive. All first aid trainers deliver Rwandan first aid courses which are at the highest standards of active training and assessment. Courses have a robust quality assurance system to back up the training as Cory Jones has over 20 years experience of delivering and assessing first aid training. Â
Cory said ‘This new partnership will enable hundreds of wildlife and adventure guides to be trained in life saving skills. Additionally local community groups and schools will be able to engage with first aid training as well’.
These courses follow on from running wilderness first aid courses in Kenya for the past fifteen years. These successful course shave trained thousands of people with lifesaving skills. Previous clients have included for Kenya Professional Safari Guide Association and Kenya Wildlife Service plus dozens of safari lodges and Mt Kenya mountain rescue teams.
