"This was the most engaging and beneficial first aid class I've ever taken.

Nicole did an excellent job of making the class hands-on and allowing us to use critical thinking and problem-solving, something missing from most first-aid classes. She also treated every student in the class with respect and truly set up an atmosphere where we were free to ask questions without judgment."

—Angelina C.

"I feel confident and ready to respond to an emergency if needed.

Wild Med's virtual course was so dynamic and the way information was presented was so interesting I felt like I was there in person! I gained so much knowledge and confidence through this course. Thank you!"

—Kati P.

"The Wild Med 21-Day Challenge was fantastic!

The short videos presented each day are both interesting and comprehensive, and break down the information in such a way that the content really sticks with you. I love that the videos will remain accessible to me even after the course ends. The live skills sessions were equally well-done, and, on top of that, Wild Med customer service is top notch. (Oh, and their First Aid Kits are incredible!)"

—Diann V.

"I feel well trained and prepared to help those in need.

This training was above and beyond my expectations. As a nature educator and Forestry Therapy Guide in training I recommend this course for anyone that spends time outdoors. Thank you!"

—Molly S.

"I will not take a CPR course with anyone else now.

I am always so pleased with WildMed! The instructions are clear, the process is smooth and the material is easy to absorb and is delivered in a - dare I say - FUN way!"

—Rebecca B.

"The instructor was very knowledgeable, professional, and related topics to real life scenarios based on our jobs.

Our organization loved our course. Absolutely would recommend!"

—Kathleen M.

"They were able to keep the group engaged, informed, and entertained throughout the 6-hour course.

We hired WildMed for a CPR and Safety training course for our field crews. Nicole and Adrienne are SO knowledgeable. There was a lot of hands-on training, and they understand the importance of keeping people moving around and involved. I appreciated a glimpse into their own experiences as they're highly skilled EMTs who have seen a lot. The group always felt comfortable asking questions. Hire them!"

—Chris D.

"Absolutely the BEST CPR course I've ever taken!

After 25+ years of being CPR certified, the renewal courses have become pretty boring and ho-hum. Not this renewal course - it was engaging, informative and empowering. I feel more prepared for an emergency than I ever have before. Thank you so much!"

—Mary S.

"This is hands down the highest quality CPR course I have taken.

Nicole's delivery is excellent. She is enthusiastic, professional and responsive. She went the extra mile to accommodate our needs. And I didn't expect it to be so much fun! I highly recommend this course!"

—Sabrina V.

"I was shocked at how effective online learning could be for this material.

I have taken many CPR/First Aid classes over the years and this was the best! Thanks to the skill of the trainers and their clear depth of knowledge of the material, I feel like I learned and am retaining the information better than I ever had. The recorded modules and the live sessions were all excellent, and I'm really grateful for this information."

—Heather D.

"This class will benefit everyone!

With a nursing background I was skeptical how much I would learn in this class. I was blown away with videos, they kept my attention, taught me new things, the instructor Nicole does a fabulous job teaching others to critically think in unfavorable circumstances, and her real life experiences are great to hear."

—Brooke B.

"Wild Med is fantastic!

I've taken a WFA class and a refresher. Both times the instruction was far better than any class I've taken before. The instructors are engaging, set ENGAGING scenarios to practice your skills, answer every question to the fullest, and are altogether the best ever. Everyone should choose Wild Med."

—Liam B.

"I have never had such an engaging experience during a CPR class.

My entire staff raved about how it was the best one they have ever attended. Nicole Thurrell is animated and informative. What a great class!"

—Maria R.

"I have participated in many CPR/First Aid trainings...

...yet the Wild Med course was seriously the first to leave me feeling confident in providing patient care! The teachers are enthusiastic, fun, and knowledgeable! I was never bored, and I think that is saying a lot when it comes to an online training."
