Exceeded Expectations

The Hybrid Wilderness First Responder Course exceeded my expectations. The instructors were highly knowledgeable, engaging, and supportive throughout. I left the course feeling significantly more confident in my skills and better prepared to assist those in need.

Wilderness First Responder

I had the pleasure of attending the NOLS / Ready SF Wilderness First Responder training led by Dave in March '22, and it was literally one of the most impactful learning experiences of my life.

Fun & Engaging

My wife and I took the NOLS Hybrid WFR course through ReadySF and it was amazing! I’ve always wanted to do the 10-day course but time off and travel made that hard for years.

Inclusive Learning

I had Dave, one of Ready SF's long-time instructors, for my Wilderness First Responder Course recertification this past weekend.

NOLS WFR Recert

I did my NOLS WFR recert with Ready SF. In my 15-odd years of maintaining a WFR, it was one of the least tedious recerts I've taken. The instructors, Megan and Jennifer, were working from a solid knowledge base and brought great energy to the course. The class location on the Marin Headlands was exceptional!
