Hands-on, meet online. Enjoy our newly formatted Wilderness First Responder Recertification, which includes an online component in addition to the traditional scenarios and skills!

Pre-work allows you to review the curriculum at your own pace and focus on the hands-on element during your two days on course. You'll just need to complete all online components, including a written exam, prior to the course.

You'll learn both in the classroom and in outdoor settings regardless of weather, so come prepared for wet, muddy, cold or hot environments!

Prerequisites
Please check out NOLS' recertification policies to make sure you're eligible to renew your certification.
