>> "Matt was a phenomenal instructor. I was able to grasp new meaning from
the material, particularly because of his:
-- enthusiasm
-- real world examples
-- simplified but thorough explanations
-- repetition (i.e. "zen" before scenarios)
-- explanation of "why" & mechanics of complicated processes.
I specifically appreciated the metaphors & explanations for processes -- I
finally understand some things I had never really before, but just memorized
rote." - Anonymous feedback survey, June 2018
>> "Matt was thorough & knowledgeable. I was impressed by how
much he taught ... I was also impressed by the specific attention he paid to me
as a WFR recert."

Did this course (taking WFA to re-cert WFR) meet your expectations?
>> "Yes, it even covered topics I did not learn when I earned my WFR which
was awesome!" - anonymous feedback survey, June 2015
>> "Yes + beyond! I feel refreshed + competent as a WFR by being
challenged [in this class] as a WFR + not a WFA" - anonymous feedback survey,

Recertify by taking the 2-day WFA or AWFA Part II
You can take the MEDIC SOLO 2-day
Wilderness First Aid (WFA) or
Advanced WFA
Part II to
recertify any of the certifications listed at the top of this page, if
you have a current SOLO certification. For other schools'
certifications, please contact us to inquire.
If you choose to take the WFA course, your MEDIC instructor will interweave advanced information for you into
the WFA class, and will be available during breaks and after class to answer
additional questions. While attending one of the WFA courses listed in the
calendar on the right (register
here), you'll receive a form to mail into SOLO along with a copy of your
current certification cards (including CPR) and a separate $15 check to "SOLO"
(or $25 for WEMT**). SOLO then will mail you your new SOLO certification
card.
If you choose to take the AWFA Part II course, ditto all of the above,
plus please note that for MEDIC's AWFA Part II only (courses listed on this
website only), being a MEDIC alum may be a prerequisite.
Expiring-Soon or Already-Expired Certification?
If you have a SOLO certification that expires shortly before a course you
wish to attend listed in the calendar on the right, call SOLO at (603)
447-6711 to request/secure an extension, and then
register here.
**WEMT Recertification Additional Guidance
WEMTs can recertify the W part of WEMT by taking the 2-day MEDIC SOLO WFA
class.
WEMTs additionally need to recertify the EMT certification:
near you, you can do what's needed to recertify your state and/or
national registry EMT;
or do some of what's needed near you, and then consider traveling to
attend SOLO's "EMT
NCCP" program in New Hampshire (this is what MEDIC SOLO instructor Matt
Rosefsky enjoys doing, to keep the wilderness flavor), optionally followed
by attending the WILD day right afterwards to recertify the W instead of
attending a WFA class.
