Description ~ Testimonials ~ Registration Info

 

"I appreciated the clear demos, the repetition of concepts, and the upbeat tone.  Being able to rewind and rewatch parts [of the videos] also helped, and makes me feel more confident about eventual in-person classes."

-- Online course graduate (anonymous), 5/7/2020

 

Description of Blended Learning:

  • Blended 1-2-3 perfection: 
    1. Now, at your own home and leisure:  learn as much as you can (online course description)Earn a Certificate of Completion.
    2. Anytime in the next 3 years, when you're comfortable and ready:  attend our in-person course to solidify your hands-on skills and earn SOLO WFA Certification (2 years).
      • currently offered each year in Colorado, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington DC, and possibly Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah
      • Have any friends/family to enjoy a visit in these areas, while taking class?
  • The online learning portion (#1 above) essentially is free, because Blended Learning has the same exact fee as our in-person class.
  • When you attend the in-person class,
    • you'll be far ahead of others who have not completed your advance online learning. 
    • you'll be able to soak in more fine details of giving care, having already learned the basics.
    • you'll learn so much more, via repetition.  Yes, you'll get the same content twice. 
      • If have the time and would like doubly-deep learning, Blended Learning is best-suited for you.
      • If your time is limited or main focus is getting WFA certification, then heading directly to our in-person classes (schedule at right) may be best for you.

 

Testimonials:

  • "I learn better by reviewing matter a few times, so I appreciate having the online segment prior to the in person segment."
    -- Sue M., 6/21/20

  • "These videos could be good pre-work for the participants so they have a good foundation during the course and are able to think strategically about the situations being discussed in-person to make the most of it. I personally am looking forward to taking that approach when I get a chance to schedule my in-person class."
    -- Drew B., 7/25/20

  • "Appreciate the combination of relatively short videos, practice and readings. The practice is what really makes a nice break (amidst videos) and know we will get more of that in a live class."

    -- Diana C., 6/22/20

  • "You all are so engaging and both in person and online you all have made it fun to learn."

    -- Eric C., 5/14/20

  • Course fee:

    • $215 for prior SOLO WFA grads who still have textbook.

      • $60/person savings is reflected in this rate, compared to what another nationwide school charges for their shorter, less-in-depth, less-hands-on in-person course, which does not come with ability to view the course online first.

    • $220 for all others.

 

Thank you for all that you do to strengthen our communities, making disaster, rural and wilderness areas safer for all.
