WFR remote extension

WFR Remote Extension - FAQ


Q: I am not an LWM alum.  Am I eligible to take this course?
A: Anyone who is eligible to take LWM's in-person or hybrid WFR Recert course is eligible to take the WFR Remote Extension course to earn a one year WFR certification with LWM.  A current Wilderness First Responder certificate or one that is within the previous certifying organization's grace period.

You will need to upload proof of current certification or a certification within the previous provider's grace period upon beginning the course.  A WFR certificate will not be issued to individuals without proof of current certification or who have a certification which has expired.

If you have questions about your current certification, please
contact LWM.

​Q: Why does the extension course only issue a one year certification?
A: ​Without a lot of practice (and we hope you are not needing your WFR skills often!) skills get rusty. The one year extension is designed to be a bridge until in-person courses can be offered more frequently and consistently; it is not intended to replace the benefits of in-class practice and demonstration.

Q: I am an LWM alum and I have lost my certification card.  How can I prove my certification?
A: ​Email the LWM office and we'll get you a new copy of your card.

Q: How is the course structured?
A: The WFR extension contains whiteboard lectures, readings, guided home practice scenarios and skills practice, first person scenario experiences, patient assessment demonstration, and a final knowledge assessment.
See the WFR Remote Extension Course Outline


​Q: How long will it take to complete the course?
A: The nature of the course being self-paced allows for some variation, but you should allow approximately 12 hours to complete the course.
