Tacoma Mountaineering Oriented First Aid (MOFA) is a 28-hour first aid course for the wilderness traveler. The course consists of lecture, demonstration & practical experience and includes Red Cross Adult CPR & Standard First Aid. MOFA instructors are club volunteers who are also certified Red Cross Instructors. Two or more instructors teach each class, with final practical scenarios evaluated by other instructors. Our make-up artists add realism to these final exercises by outfitting our many volunteer victims with simulated injuries. No previous First Aid or climbing experience is required.
Our Tacoma MOFA Refresher course is condensed into 20 hours and provides full MOFA re-certification including Red Cross Adult CPR & Standard First Aid. It is open to folks who have taken MOFA within the past 5 years. Those with advanced medical training (e.g. EMTs, nurses, physicians) may also take the Refresher in lieu of taking the full MOFA course.
If you are interested in taking only CPR/First Aid, please contact Angela. See below for phone/e-mail.
Course Attendance: Participation is required at all class sessions. The class involves hands-on, interactive learning building on skills learned in previous sessions. Wear casual clothes suitable for working on the ground and outdoors. Arrangements cannot be made to make up class sessions. Please do not register for a class unless you can attend all class sessions.
