Specialized First Aid – for Hunters – Certified First-Aider Course
About this Class
An outdoor first aid seminar, NOT JUST FOR HUNTERS!
But hunters are exposed to particular dangers from firearms, sharp blades, falls while building hunting stands, and diseases transmitted by animals. Group hunts in particular can quickly become dangerous. Tragic hunting accidents, some with fatal outcomes, occur time and again. Many deaths can be prevented through prompt medical action.
In an emergency, stress levels rise and rational thinking is impaired. That is why, following the principle “Treat first what kills first!”, we use a standardized approach that enables safe action even in challenging situations. Learn in this first aid course for hunters how to provide help safely and effectively in outdoor emergencies.
This course is recognized as “training to become an occupational first aider” and is certified accordingly.

Reviews
WildNet.Earth Review Policy
Each rating result ranges from 1 to 10. The overall rating for a class is calculated by adding up all the ratings submitted and dividing them by the number of ratings. We use a weighted system: more recent ratings have a greater influence on the overall result.
Participants can also submit sub-ratings for important class areas – such as organizer communication, class management, content & learning progress, procedure & implementation, venue, catering, and accommodation. Sub-ratings and overall ratings are assigned independently of each other and are not necessarily directly related.
Participants can submit a review if they have taken part in a class via WildNet.Earth – even if they have not completed the class in full. In addition, participants can verify themselves and also write reviews even if they have not booked via WildNet.Earth. Changes to reviews that have already been submitted can only be made via WildNet customer service.
To prevent bias, WildNet.Earth uses processes that identify fake or unreliable reviews. Such content will be deleted and measures may be taken against those responsible. Suspicious posts can be reported to customer service by anyone at any time.
We publish both positive and negative reviews, unless they contain or refer to:
- Politically sensitive content
- Advertising
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive data (e.g., phone numbers, email addresses)
- Insults, obscene language, sexualized content, hate speech, discrimination, threats, or violence
- Spam or obviously fake content
- Identity theft
- Any violation of our rating guidelines
Guidelines and standards for reviews
These guidelines ensure that reviews on WildNet.Earth remain relevant, fair, and respectful—without restricting freedom of expression.
Contributions should have a clear connection to the class or experience and help other participants make an informed decision. Personal attacks, religious or political statements, advertising, or support requests (to the organizer or WildNet.Earth) do not belong in reviews and will be removed.
Posts must be suitable for a global audience. Obscenities (even in creative writing) and content that contains hate, discrimination, violence, sexual depictions, or illegal activities are not permitted.
All content must be authentic, independent, and unbiased. Organizers and their partners may not create reviews on behalf of their participants or offer incentives for reviews. Attempts at manipulation (e.g., negative reviews against other organizers) will not be tolerated.
Personal data of third parties may not be published. Copyrights must be observed—published content, especially images, may only be used if the corresponding rights have been obtained.
The opinions expressed are solely those of participants and class providers. WildNet.Earth accepts no liability for reviews or responses. WildNet.Earth acts as a distributor, not as a publisher of content.
Reviews are sorted according to recency and other relevance criteria (e.g., language, reviews with text, etc.). Additional sorting options may be available.

About the Organizer
Wildnis- und Jagdschule JAGWINA
JAGWINA brings together the extensive teachings of many wilderness courses in holistic hunting courses.
Tracking and spoor reading, bird language, tanning, knife-making, flint knapping, developing awareness—
everything leads to hunting—or follows from hunting.
That is why, since 2008, JAGWINA has offered the opportunity to learn the ancient craft of hunting through holistic practical, experience-based hunting courses in a warm and appreciative atmosphere.
Our hunting courses span several months. After all, you can't learn to hunt in 14 days.
Ethics and respect are important to us. That is why our hunting courses are called “Hunt Respectfully.”
In its hunting courses, JAGWINA draws on current findings in wildlife biology, ecology, and animal welfare. We weave together traditional knowledge and modern insights.
In addition to our hunting training, we offer continuing education for hunters and seminars on traditional nature-based crafts.
Since 2012, we have been running further training programs in wilderness education.
JAGWINA verbindet in ganzheitlichen Jagdkursen die umfangreichen Lehren vieler Wildniskurse.
Spuren- und Fährtenlesen, Vogelsprache, Gerben, Messerbau, Feuersteinbearbeitung, Wahrnehmungsschulung -
alles führt zur Jagd - oder folgt auf die Jagd.
Daher bietet JAGWINA seit 2008 in ganzheitlichen praxis- und erfahrungsorientierten Jagdkursen in familiärer und wertschätzender Atmosphäre die Möglichkeit, das alte Handwerk der Jagd zu erlernen.
Unsere Jagdkurse erstrecken sich über mehrere Monate. Denn Jagen lernt man nicht in 14 Tagen.
Uns geht es um Ethik und Respekt. Daher heißen unsere Jagdkurse "Respektvoll Jagen".
JAGWINA orientiert sich in seinen Jagdkursen an aktuellen Erkenntnissen der Wildbiologie, der Ökologie und des Tierschutzes. Wir verweben altes Wissen mit modernen Erkenntnissen.
Neben unserer Jagdausbildung bieten wir Fortbildungen für Jägerinnen und Jäger und Seminare zu Naturhandwerken an.
Seit 2012 führen wir Wildnispädagogische Weiterbildungen durch.
