Summary of course dates – book via bookings

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 Four

ABC’s of Thriving: Adventure Mindsets workshop

“Your attention belongs to you, it triggers your actions… learn to pay attention to your attention, understand the value of becoming comfortable with discomfort and learn to thrive by aligning yourself to your beliefs and values!”

At FAB we have created our own course centred around a great week model – the ABC’s of thriving! Developed by Jen, after years of working in the adventure sector we have designed a course to unpack the subject of resilience. This course looks at how we can develop personal insights into our strategies for thriving.

The workshop will look at how our mental/physical and emotional fitness are connected to the Place we are in, the purpose we have and the people in our lives.

Our session will begin by looking at values and choices, exploring the lives of Thrivers we can will find lots of useful top tips to apply in our own situations.

This is designed as an opportunity to explore this topic and attendees will not be asked or expected to share any personal information

Course duration is around 90 mins and will take place at a location in Central Edinburgh or in Peebles, the booking will make it clear which venue is being used for each course!
