You can always go to SOLO in NH and they have some satellite classes in CT IIRC. You can use there lookup function but here are two Wilderness first aid classes available in the near future. I have no affiliation with these people other than I have been certified as a WEMT for 8 years with SOLO and have been very satisfied with the quality of teaching and their teachers. I have no experience with the teachers in CT or elsewhere, only NH.

I went through a SOLO wilderness first responder course in Pinkham NH a few years back. I can highly recommend them.

Good luck guys. I would actually like some feedback on these teachers if you don't mind. I suspect they are very good but don't know any.
