Youth First Aid Course

Following on from the success and positive feedback from the first youth first aid course the Nelson Mountain Bike Club are organising, thanks to Peak Safety, a second first aid training event. 

NMTBC has an amazing crew of up and coming youth riders. The skill and motivation shown by these riders is outstanding. We are also aware that many of these riders are riding grade 5+ trails without adults and may not know what to do if things go wrong. This first aid and emergency response course is designed to give these riders some first aid skills and emergency response strategies to help if one of their crew takes a spill.

Course Information: The four hour course will start indoors with a theory session, this will be followed by scenarios outside.

What: MTB specific first aid and emergency response training

When: 22 June
