Other Info: A NOLS WFA course can be used as a recertification opportunity for NOLS WFR certification holders (other WFR cert holders will receive a NOLS WFA cert for this course experience). NOLS WFRs must be in date or within the eligibility period to recertify (1 year after expiration). Expect a written and a practical exam, both covering WFR-level material we do not cover in a WFA course. Go here to study curriculum updates, watch skills videos, and attempt an online practice exam prior to your arrival.
