This is a world first for snake awareness of Southern African snakes.
JUST in time for snake season, the African Snakebite Institute (ASI) has released it’s first online Snake Awareness and First Aid for Snakebite course, making snake awareness and first aid for snakebite accessible to the masses.
This is a world first for snake awareness of Southern African snakes, and the six-part course covers snake awareness, behaviour, biology, venoms, first aid for snakebite, first aid for scorpion sting and first aid for spider bite.

“With summer fast approaching and snake sightings on the increase, this course is just in time.”
“It will boost knowledge and awareness of southern African snakes and contribute significantly to their conservation. And in the unlikely event of a snakebite, you will know exactly what first aid measures to follow,” said Ashley Kemp, manager of the ASI.
The ASI also offers online snake identification courses which cover groups of snakes that are tricky to identify, frequently encountered and medically important snakes, garden snakes, the Deadly Dozen, small black snakes, green snakes and a variety of other snakes that people find difficult to identify.
