The Fisherman's First Aid and Safety Training (FFAST) is a free two-day advanced first aid class offered to commercial fishermen who work in remote environments. The course adapts wilderness first aid principles to real-life scenarios that fishermen may encounter at sea. Successful completion of this course will fulfill the US Coast Guard Requirements for CPR/AED and Basic First Aid.

This course is open to both first-time students and returning students wishing to be recertified.

Registration is required in advance as space is limited to 12 students total (first-time students are given priority). The first to register are the first to secure a spot in the course, so please register early and contact Ashleigh Palinkas with any questions (email: apalinkas@ucsd.edu).
