"If you shoot, this free course could make you safer in the field.

We’ve made essential first aid and trauma awareness free and accessible to everyone, because in remote environments early decisions matter. This level of awareness should be the minimum standard for anyone who shoots."

A few more words about the Trauma & First Aid Awareness Course for Shooters & Lone Workers

This free online awareness course is for anyone working in high-risk, remote, or isolated environments. It's not a first aid qualification, but it builds essential understanding of how incidents happen and what actions matter most in the critical early minutes.

You'll explore common hazards, realistic injury scenarios, and the principles of effective first aid response when professional help is delayed. The course covers early recognition, decision-making under pressure, and the consequences of getting it wrong.

Delivered by Ben Page, a Registered Adult Nurse, Qualified First Aid Instructor, and former British Army medic with over 20 years' experience, the course draws on real-world insight from high-risk environments. You'll learn what can go wrong in the field, why it matters, and what the critical early actions are that can prevent a bad situation from becoming worse.

Designed to sharpen your awareness and help you think clearly when it counts, the course stresses the need for safe working practices and the importance of proper training and equipment.

This course is intended as an introduction and overview of first aid only, and stresses the relevance of first aid and trauma awareness to shooters and lone workers.
IT IS NOT a first aid qualification.
For a nationally recognised qualification and certificate, completion of a course such as Emergency First Aid at Work with Forestry (EFAW) or First Aid at Work with Forestry (FAW) is required.
