The training is run over two days with a classroom-based training module as well.
Much of the training is outdoors and practical, so a basic level of fitness and mobility is required.

The Education Authority will recognise this course as the practical training element for Bronze Expedition Supervisors, in non-wild country, within the EA DofE/JAI programmes. This is on the understanding that DES course delegates must engage in the additional training sessions around EA policies; procedures and expedition paperwork and guidance facilitated by the EA DofE/JAI staff team. For information regarding the next course delegates should contact Vicky Mowbray by email at [email protected]. EA delegates will also be expected to have a first-aid qualification before supervising expeditions.
This course is aimed at persons responsible for providing first aid treatment within any setting, it is particularly suitable for those working in outdoor activities, outdoor related jobs or in remote locations. No previous first aid experience is required; however, the ability and willingness to participate fully is required. Please note this is a practical skills training course and candidates will be taught first aid skills using a ‘hands on approach’ with another person.
