    Where in AZ would it be held? Prescott? Should I do the Wilderness First Aid course first?
    Yes, training will be based out of Prescott. You can do the WFA either before or after, so that's entirely up to your schedule.

    Can I mix in some the Photography modules as electives, or are there no electives during the 7 day comprehensive program?
    The 7-day program just covers the core courses. You would have to complete the WFA and the HAM / elective separately. As things progress, and depending on interest, we will most likely have a system in place to have the elective either right before or right after the 7-day.

    CO courses are based just outside of Boulder.

    cheers

    Congrats and best of luck the new endeavor. I'm confident it will be an enormous success like its counterparts. I'll be watching for course offerings for the winter months when business and travel around these parts slow down, I've got plenty to learn

    Thanks Graham

    Got my HAM already, just sent in an email to sign up for the December 7 day course. I would like more info on WFA course reccommendations so that I can take care of that prior to the 7 day cert. course.

    Also, my wife is super excited to particiate in the 3 day woman's course. She can't wait until it gets scheduled!
