Frequently Asked Questions

Can nurses, paramedics and AHPs join your courses?

Yes – our courses are aimed at all medical and healthcare professionals of any discipline interested in working in remote, austere and extreme environments.

I’m a student, can I take part?

You certainly can, however we recommend you consider how long it will be between our course and when you can implement the learning. If there is a long gap and you are concerned about skill or knowledge fade, then it may be worth waiting a little longer.

Consider following our podcast and exploring our e-learning as a first step. Take a look at our annual conference which provides a one-of-a-kind networking opportunity that could inspire a truly extreme career path.

I’m not a medical or healthcare professional, can I take part?

This is complicated and worth a discussion with one of our team. We’d like to know more about your current training and experience, future plans and what you need from training in this area. The more information you can provide for us, the better –  we’ll then make our recommendation about potential next steps.

Can I pay in instalments?

You can pay a deposit now and the balance later and we now also offer Paypal Pay in 3. If you’d like to discuss a different option, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to help.
