At Learn To Survive, all of our instructors are, at a minimum, nationally certified, state licensed paramedics. In addition, all LTS instructor have actual, real-life expeditionary experience and extensive field time. They are all very experienced instructors, normally with national education certifications.
We believe it is this combination; advanced medical training, real-world field experience, and education training, that sets us apart from other wilderness and remote training organizations. The old adage that those who cannot do, teach is simply not true at LTS. Every one of our instructors does and then take that knowledge and experiences and passes it on to you, effectively and efficiently.
