Upcoming Courses with Headwind

Hybrid Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Course

Seattle, WA | Jan 9 – 13, 2026 | $775

Independent online study (30+ hours) followed by five days (50 hours) of hands-on simulations and skills training Jan 9 – 13. WFR courses are designed for outdoor professionals, those taking multi-day or extended trips, and people involved with high-risk activities (rock climbing, whitewater paddling, mountaineering, etc.). WFR courses provide ideal training for people who travel in remote locations, in challenging weather, with limited equipment, unreliable communication, and little or no access to outside assistance. 

This course can also be taken as a WEMR/WEMT for students with a current EMR or EMT certification.

Hybrid Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) Course

San Diego, CA | May 23 – 25, 2026 | Tuition TBA

Independent online study (15+ hours) followed by three days (30 hours) of hands-on simulations and skills training May 23 – 25. WAFA courses are designed for people taking half, full, or short multi-day trips, those traveling with reliable cell or satellite coverage, and where outside assistance may be delayed for several hours. WAFA courses cover more topics and skills than a WFA course and dive slightly deeper into anatomy, physiology, and  pathophysiology. ​
