BIKING FIRST AID

This Biking First Aid course is NICA-approved for Level 2 and Level 3 coaches. It fully satisfies renewal requirements only if you have previously completed an 8-hour in-person course or a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course. If this is your first time taking a NICA course, you must complete an in-person 8-hour course before enrolling in this online program. Some NICA-approved 8-hour in-person courses may refer you back to this site for study and certification. This course is also suitable for any biking enthusiast who wants to learn how to prevent or treat biking-related injuries.
