Outdoor First Aid Course
About this Class
Hiking, walking the dog, horseback riding, cycling, hunting, foraging for mushrooms, jogging, walking, forest bathing—with a forest kindergarten, a wilderness school, or as a forestry worker... there are many reasons why you might be outdoors, whether alone or with a group.
Can you provide first aid if it takes a long time for professional emergency services to reach the scene of an accident?
Alongside theory and practical sessions, you’ll be assigned to rescue teams for various first-aid scenarios. Through realistic accident simulation (RUD), you’ll get to “rescue” and provide “initial care” to injured people spontaneously and unexpectedly—in other words, in a realistic setting. Over the course of two days, you’ll immerse yourself in first aid and learn about and understand the medical background as well as the practical skills. Your personal outdoor background will also be incorporated into the course.

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
ROTHwild-Schule
With the “ROTHwild School,” I offer forest, nature, and wilderness education seminars and events. I’m open to a wide range of opportunities, including different courses, designing wild-themed children’s birthday parties, professional development, and setting up a stall at markets and trade fairs. I’m also available as a substitute at forest kindergartens, drawing on my qualifications as an early childhood educator (MA). Through my offerings, I want to make knowledge about nature something you can experience with all your senses and, alongside learning, inspire a new connection with the nature right on your doorstep. Come outdoors with me!
The ROTHwild School is in a remote, standalone location right at the edge of the forest. In addition to a small seminar room and a large wooden hall, we have access to one of the largest contiguous forest areas in the region. Many courses and events can therefore take place whatever the weather. Another outstanding feature is the particularly high population of red deer, as well as the presence of wolves. My offerings can also take place in the greater Gifhorn, Uelzen, and Celle area—I can come to you, too.
I also regularly return to my old home in Central Hesse. Offerings in this region are available on request.
Mit der "ROTHwild-Schule" biete ich wald-, natur- und wildnispädagogische Seminare und Events an. Dabei bin ich mit unterschiedlichen Kursangeboten, der Gestaltung von wilden Kindergeburtstagen, Fortbildungen oder auch als Stand auf Märkten und Messen für ein breites Angebot offen. Als Kindheitspädagogin (MA) stehe ich zudem als Aushilfe in Waldkindergärten zur Verfügung. In meinen Angeboten möchte ich das Wissen über die Natur mit allen Sinnen erlebbar werden lassen und neben dem Lernen eine neue Verbindung zu der Natur vor deiner Haustüre anstoßen. Komm mit mir nach draußen!
Die ROTHwild-Schule befindet sich in abgelegener Einzellage direkt am Waldrand. Hier steht uns neben einem kleinen Seminarraum und einer großen Holzhalle der Zugang zu einem der größten aneinanderhängenden Waldstücke der Region zur Verfügung. Viele Kurse und Veranstaltungen können daher wetterunabhängig stattfinden. Herausragend ist zudem das besonders hohe Vorkommen von Rotwild, aber auch die Anwesenheit von Wölfen. Meine Angebote können aber ebenfalls im Großraum Gifhorn, Uelzen und Celle stattfinden - ich komme auch zu dir.
Zudem bin ich immer wieder in meiner alten Heimat in Mittelhessenanzutreffen. Auf Anfrage sind Angebote auch in dieser Region möglich.
