What people are saying about Wild Med:
Wow, wow, wow, I can not say enough good things about this course, not only is the content exactly what I needed for the ANFT certification, it was delivered in an incredible format, and style. Nicole is an incredible educator and it is evident she is passionate about sharing her wisdom with others.

I've had to do CPR trainings numerous times over the years as an educator. This time was different. I LEARNED IT. I REALLY feel like I not only understand what I need to do, but why. It's empowering. There was a thoroughness that made it click. Nicole is a phenomenal instructor and her clear delivery made it so natural to absorb. For as long as I need to update my training, I will be attending WildMed without question.

I took the online WFA and CPR classes from Nicole and I am amazed at just how much more I feel like I learned from this online course and skills lab than any other classes I have taken elsewhere in the past. It was so clear, concise and engaging. It was very easy for me to understand and assimilate all the information. I feel way more confident about my skills now and that I can approach any scenario with the new grounded clarity that I discovered as I moved through this course. I am so grateful for all that I learned and to feel so much more confident in my CPR and Wilderness First Aid skills. If you are looking to gain experience in these skills than look no further! This course is relaxed, interesting, engaging and very supportive to cultivating the skills you need to feel confident in your natural human nature to help others in times of need. A great big thank you Nicole for all that you have created for our greater communities!
