The credentials bit
FAB Adventures is an ITC First approved centre delivering SQA, OfQual and Qualification Wales recognised awards across the UK.


Course one
ITC Award in Outdoor First Aid and Incident Management – IOL Level 3
Summary of course dates – book via bookings
Edinburgh: 27/28 Nov 21
Glentress: 2022 – 19/20 March; 16/17 April; 25/26 June; 27/28 August; 1/2 October; 19/20 November
If you work or play in some of the more remote and rural parts of the UK this qualification is designed to meet your needs. It assumes you are more than 30 minutes away from immediate assistance and for those of you with Outdoor national Governing Body Instructor Awards, this is likely to be the minimum First Aid requirement you need to maintain your qualification
We teach you to be advanced at the basics – when you are far from help, the weather is poor, daylight is fading and you have an injured person to help you need a system that is easy to remember and reliable!
At FAB we believe you get good at what you practice! so we do lots of practice until you feel confident, to be the person who steps forward when someone is ill or injured and know you can help.
The certificate is valid for 3 years.
Course Two
Advanced First Aid: 2 Day
Proposed date: 5/6 Feb 2022 – Tweed Valley Venue
Taking things up to the next level, if you are working far from help
this is the course for you. We have worked with ITC to design a course
that will challenge and stretch those of you who have done the outdoor
course for years. Working from the same foundations we hold so dear at
FAB – Using vital signs assessment to determine “Big or little sick”
and doing a very good primary survey we will develop skills in
monitoring and recognising the onset of medical conditions,
deteriorating casualties and subsequent management of these. This
course will incorporate the mandatory outdoor first aid so you will be
getting the right qualification but in a more dynamic and challenging
setting!




Course three
Navigation
Booking on this course will give you the toolkit you need to take
yourself on some great adventures. Navigation made so easy with the
years of experience in the FAB team. The instructors have designed this course to bring together the key skills needed to navigate in the
Scottish Mountains when conditions can change from minute to minute – route planning and route choice, key skills and lots of practice.
Course 4: Thrive Academy
Practitioner seminar: this session will take around 90 mins and is flexible in terms of delivery – contact us for more details.

–
“I want to have dialogue with my learners around values, mindsets, resilience, wellbeing and thriving, but finding the right words can be tricky!”
This course is built on the experiences our team have gained in years of working in the outdoors and within schools to help folks make sense of adventure and challenge, bringing it into their lives beyond the event and learning how to put their personaal values into action… Thriving, the ability to learn from setbacks and develop strategies that support personal well being, to become a well “human” being, is not the golden egg we think it is.
Using a systematic approach, like the ABC’s of first aid, this course will explore how we can help learners to shape their lives and make sense of this ever changing world we live in, not just surviving but thriving.
This seminar will give folks the chance to use the toolkit and discuss the elements in detail, learn about the research that underpins each element and get the chance to practice.
As with all FAB courses our aim to to ensure you are Advanced at the basics, you feel capable and confident with the material and you have a pathway to develop further skills, come along and give it a go!
Lead by Jen Isherwood this seminar will be available in a flexible format, online or face to face, in a dedicated workplace or via open courses…
