I have just completed my second adventure with Will4Adventure and I am still buzzing! I honestly can't recommend this... experience enough - I have gained so much confidence to tackle heights and this has opened up a whole new world to me! Thank you to all of our guides for being so kind, encouraging and knowledgeable - you have created a very special and unique experience. If anyone is undecided as to whether or not to book onto a course, my advice is 'just do it'! :)read more

I had an amazing weekend in the Lake District with Will, Adam and Dean. We were all fear of heights graduates and they... planned a brilliant follow up itinerary around our abilities, with many options to do more or less based on how we felt. We all managed to do a range of scrambles during the weekend, which wouldn’t have been possible before the course. Thank you so much!read more

Just attended the two day Fear of Heights course which comprised a morning of NLP followed by a day and a half of... graded outdoors activities. The combination was just right. Bryan, Will and Hayden clearly knew their stuff and were patient, encouraging and supportive throughout. Everyone on the course achieved far more than they’d expected beforehand. The activities all felt safe and above all it was fun. The small group format was perfect, we were all there for the same reason and supported and encouraged each other. I left with a smile on my face and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you guys!read more

I did a first aid training with Lizzy from Will4Adventure in January. It was well organised, well planned and had lots... of useful relevant scenarios that we worked though. I liked the homework of looking at a real incident and judging before and after the training where we though we were at in relation to lived experience.read more

Will ran a outdoor adventure party for my daughter's 9th birthday and her 6 friends. He was absolutely brilliant with... them all, funny, relaxed but made sure everyone was safe at all times (abseiling adventures) and they all felt included. I can't recommend Will enough. The girls are all talking about the party at school- they had a wonderful day. A definite re-book and hopefully other adventures too.read more

Recently attended a full weekend mountain first aid course with other members of my climbing club. It was a full 2 day... course and pretty intense but absolutely brilliant. Our trainer, Liz was very knowledgeable and professional and the time flew by. By the end of the weekend, I felt so much more confident and better equipped to manage a whole array of medical emergencies both on and off the mountains. Thank you!read more

Just completed a 16 hour Outdoor First Aid course with Will4adventure at their Camberley location. The course was run... by Lizzy, who was excellent. I have undertaken 3 previous courses - this was the first with Will4adventure and was by far the best. Everything was relevant, Lizzy kept the course interesting and the scenarios made great practice. I highly recommend and will definitely return when my renewal is due.read more

Just completed the 2 day outdoor first aid course which I require as a Ski Club GB Rep. This is the second time I have... competed this type of course (3 year renewal required by SCGB) so I can make a comparison and I would strongly recommend them. The small group of 12 people enabled experiences to be shared with each other which was very valuable. The training was very professional and excellent at reinforcing the basics of first aid whilst really stressing the most important first things to do as soon as you find an injured person. The scenarios covered most things you are likely to find in an outdoor environment and it has given me confidence to step in should I ever need to. I will be back in 3 years!read more

I did Will's October free walking weekend. Only the Saturday when Dean was leading. Dean is a great walk leader,... professional and full of interesting information about the places we were walking.Great walk, great company - lots of people who had already done courses or holidays with Will, and who like to come back time and again. That says something! Thank you for the free walking, Will.read more

I attended Will4Adventure's Outdoor First Aid course in the Peak District earlier this month. Will was a fantastic... teacher and made excellent use of scenarios to reinforce learning; encouraging attendees to think about possible first aid situations in a dynamic, realistic way. Powerpoint presentations were limited to use only where absolutely necessary, and feedback was always thoughtful and encouraging, making participants grow rapidly in confidence over the course of the 2 days.Most attendees did this course as a prerequisite to other Outdoor instruction qualifications, but this is not a necessity. I attended as someone who spends a lot of time in the outdoors and wants to feel better equipped to handle scenarios if and when I encounter them. I definitely achieved this aim, and would recommend Will's Outdoor First Aid course to anyone who enjoys activities in more remote settings.read more

I've just completed a 2 day Outdoor First Aid course with Will4Adventure at Camberley, Surrey/Hampshire. I was quite... anxious about doing the course - I struggle to remember first aid material. The content, though, was delivered in a way that allowed us to keep revisiting essential information so that it was reinforced even for slow learners like me, and there was no shame attached to making mistakes. Our instructor, Lizzy, was super well informed, good humoured and very relaxed. I highly recommend the course.read more

Just got back from our Peak District holiday and I would just like to thank Will for arranging the rock climbing course... with Issy. She is such a great instructor, was so attentive to our needs and our goals, very supportive and patient (especially when I got a bit scared with heights during abseiling) and pushed us and challenged us in a good way, allowing us to be creative in our problem solving skills rather than being too technical. It's amazing as how she was able to meet both of our needs as I was a total beginner whilst my partner Ross had a bit of experience. Ross and I had a really great time! Already recommended this to our friends who we know will be interested.read more

We had a brilliant family day rock climbing with Will. He took us to a great spot with lovely views and we enjoyed some... challenging climbs that we otherwise wouldn't have attempted.

Just attended the Outdoor First Aid course run by Will4Adventure, what an amazing course, great content, delivered in a... very professional, yet fun way.

I did an outdoor first aid course with Will, and as he promised it is the best I've had, he really knows his stuff, and... the delivery was great.Learnt a lot and left feeling ready for action, not wishing for anyone to have an accident, but should anyone need a broken femur straightened, now i know what to do.Had a great time too, the course went by really quick and we all had a good laugh.100% recommended.read more

17:23 08 Jun 21

I signed up for this course because I wanted and needed outdoor first aid skills to help in my work (taking volunteers... out for conservation activities) and in my running that often takes place in remote areas. The course was great and extremely useful. The perfect combination of theory and practice that leaves you more knowledgeable and confident. The instructor, Lizzy, is a very friendly and approachable person, very professional and experienced. The two day course is excellent, I highly recommend it to anyone working outdoors or simply wanting to enjoy the outdoors while also feeling more self-sufficient in nature.read more

We really enjoyed our two day scrambling course with Will4Adventure and our instructor Simon. The course really gave... me the knowledge and confidence to get out in the mountains on grade 2/3 scrambles. Simon shared lots of top tips and experience that would otherwise take ages to develop independently. The course was really informative but also lots of fun and Simon is a great instructor. Really good stuff and thoroughly recommend hiring Will4Adventure to show you the ropes!read more

Outdoors First Aid Course. This course was well paced with a good balance between theory and practical / assessment. A... large part of the course took place outdoors with a wide range of scenarios that not only helped to underpin the theory but gave the opportunity to run through potential real life situations making them thought provoking. You were also given sufficient time after each scenario to evaluate the approach taken which helped consolidate thinking and understanding.read more

This outdoor first aid course was spot on, Will had lots of practical experience to share, taught clearly and made it... interesting and very engaging.
