JHOLI offers DMM's hybrid Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course format, which consists of a 30-hour self-paced online instructional component followed by a 50-hour in-person practical component over five consecutive days.

The online section is hosted on CANVAS®, a cloud-based classroom and learning management system that allows students to work at their own pace. An instructor team assigned to each course supports participants with navigation of the online material and facilitates interactive elements and skill-based learning. The online material consists of reading assignments, case studies, videos, photos, animations, quizzes, and discussions, culminating in a comprehensive midterm exam. The online section is available to course participants approximately one month before the practical section begins.

The hybrid format works best for self-motivated individuals with good time management skills who have access to a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop and high-speed internet. This instructional format gives course participants the opportunity to learn at their own speed, in their own space, and on their own schedule.

Participants then apply the knowledge and skills learned from their online WFR training to the 50-hour in-person section, which takes place mainly outdoors. This practical section consists of drills, skill stations, scenarios, and discussions with the same instructor team that supports the online section.
