EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONDER

 

As one of the foremost international CPR and first-aid training companies, Emergency First Response courses give lay responders the confidence to handle medical emergencies – not just diving-related, but in everyday life. Similar to PADI programs, Emergency First Response courses, training materials and educational curricula were developed by experienced instructional designers. Course content is based on patient care standards as published in the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). ILCOR is an international standards group representing most of the world's major resuscitation organizations.

 

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE?

 

Emergency First Response training focuses on building confidence in lay rescuers and increasing their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency. Course participants learn simple to follow steps for emergency care and practice applying skills in a non-stressful learning environment. All courses are supported by self-study manuals, videos and quick reference cards to enhance learning and allow you start learning right away.

 

EFR courses meet the CPR and first aid training requirements for the PADI (hyperlink to rescue diver course) Rescue Diver course and all professional-level ratings. Most PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors.

 

The following EFR courses are based on internationally recognized medical guidelines for emergency care.
