A dedicated training course for medics operating in remote and extreme environments.

A specialist pathway for medics operating in extreme environments

For clinicians working in remote, cold and high-consequence environments, clinical capability is only one part of the equation. The ability to operate effectively in extreme cold – personally, technically and within a wider expedition system—is essential.

The Arctic Skills Course has been designed to meet that demand.

This programme offers a dedicated pathway for medics operating in remote and extreme environments, combining core expedition skills with applied cold-weather medicine. It is built to develop confidence, capability and sound decision-making in the conditions you are likely to encounter across winter and cold-region deployments.

Training FAQs

What is the course like?

An Immersive, Field-Based Experience

This is not a theoretical course. It is a practical, field-based programme grounded in the realities of austere, sub-zero environments – where equipment behaves differently, resources are finite, and small errors can carry significant consequence.

You will develop robust personal systems for managing heat, movement, equipment and fatigue – recognising that your ability to function effectively underpins your clinical role.

Alongside this, the course explores how clinical care adapts in the cold: how presentations evolve, how interventions are modified, and how decisions are made when evacuation is delayed, uncertain or complex

Who is this course designed for?

Please explain the location and accommodation:

The Academy can host up to 20 guests with sleeping arrangements that include two shared dormitories for eight people each and three smaller rooms sleeping up to four additional guests. Facilities feature communal showers, a large dining room, and a fully equipped commercial kitchen where the Academy’s in-house chef prepares three daily meals and traditional Swedish fika throughout the course.

The building benefits from fibre-optic broadband, powered by a robust mesh network, ensuring reliable internet throughout the entire facility. Guests also have access to the sauna, and in winter, the building is ski-in/ski-out directly from the front door. Just a five-minute walk from the Academy is our nearest lake, Bygdeträsket, which is used for activities in both summer and winter.

All equipment is stored on site, and our large hall serves both as a practical demonstration space and a fully equipped gym.

What kind of kit do we need?

We will send you a full gear list on sign up. We encourage you to bring as much of your own kit as possible but we can also supplement with some specialist rental kit should you need it. Generally at this time of year, you will do fine with a similar kit setup you`d use in the Scottish mountains in Winter. Once you sign up, we will take time to individually assess what you already have and its suitability before you arrive and help you select a suitable solution package.
