I doubt it; our Wilderness First Aid course tends to be very "hands-on". We try to provide the students with actual scenarios to see how they handle it (this is what makes it so much fun for them, in a lot of cases, especially when you get to teach the kids as we did last month). The Standard First Aid course has videos of most of the modules, acted out by Saint John volunteers, and if you watched those videos you'd get a pretty good idea of what to do in an emergency, but we don't have those for the WFA course and probably won't. (It's desirable to teach it in an actual wilderness setting where you may not have access to a TV and VCR, although realisically you could teach the entire course in the parking lot. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> In fact, I know of one case where a fellow instructor did just that. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Incidentally, for anyone who works with young children (age 6 to 9), Saint John Ambulance has a course called "We Can Help" which is designed to teach very basic first aid skills to Grade 3 students. If you go to www.cadetsonline.ca ; click on Resources, then on "Online Resources - Youth Related", and then on "Junior Program Resources" there are a number of b&w line drawings that you can download in pdf format and print off for your kids to colour.

It's not the whole course; that includes a comic book - also suitable for colouring - in which the "Junior Jays", having taken a first aid course, then encounter various medical emergencies in their daily lives to which they have to respond. In Alberta, financial support from the Freemasons has enabled us to offer this program free of charge to any Grade 3 class that asks; it's designed to be taught by any teacher with a Standard First Aid certificate. (There's also an Instructor's Guide and Lesson Plan that comes with the package.) Just thought that might be of interest to some of you who work with Boy or Girl Scouts. If it is, message me and I'll see if I can help.
