Highlands Wilderness Training

The Highlands Wilderness Training Institute (HWTI) was founded to provide a cost effective means for those who play and work in the great outdoors a way to gain valuable training in Wilderness First Aid, Urban First Aid and Wilderness Survival Skills. Every year thousands of families and individuals head out of the big city for the weekend commute, to the cottage and into the wilderness to enjoy such activities as camping, fishing, hunting, hiking and much much more.Unfortunately along with these fun recreational activities comes the increased risk of injury or the chance of becoming lost or stranded in the woods.

With this in mind HWTI was founded by a group of professionals who have seen first hand what happens when people who are unprepared to deal with emergencies find themselves experiencing one first hand in the back country. Our instructional staff consists of Emergency Services Personnel, all of whom posses real world experience dealing with actual emergencies that have occurred in both big city & wilderness settings. These are the same people who come to your rescue when you call 911.

Our instructors have the ability to effectively pass valuable knowledge and skills on to you in a manner that is easy to understand through the use of state of the art technology, Realistic Scenarios and the use of Moulage based training models while following accepted and proven adult education methods. We invite you to browse through our website, and please feel free to contact us with any inquires you may have.

Sincerely Yours

The Staff Of
The Highlands Wilderness Training Institute
