Who should take this course?
Emergency First Response training focuses on building
confidence to respond when faced with a medical emergency.
Course participants learn easy to follow steps for emergency care
and practice applying skills in a non-stressful learning environment.
EFR courses meet the CPR and first aid training requirements for the
Rescue Diver course and all professional-level ratings.
 
What will you learn?
Primary Care (CPR) – Involved techniques to handle life-threatening emergencies.
You’ll practice 8 skills for aiding patients who aren’t breathing, have no heartbeat, may have a spinal injury, may be in shock or who may have serious bleeding. You’ll learn how to perform CPR and continue to monitor the patient, so that you provide every possible chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.

Secondary Care (First Aid) – Because many medical conditions are not life-threatening and emergency medical services are sometimes delayed or unavailable, this course teaches you how to provide first aid that eases pain and reduces the risk of further harm. You’ll learn to assess a variety of injuries and illnesses and practice bandaging and splinting.

CPR & AED – This course focuses on CPR training and teaching participants how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator). When workplace or governmental requirements specify this training, the CPR & AED course meets the need. This course is often integrated into First Aid at Work programs.

What does the course involve?
There is a short video to watch along with a series of questions before any practical work takes place. Once completed you will move onto the primary care practical section, completing all the skills required and then onto the secondary care skills. 

There is a short exam to take once all the theory and practical sections have been completed.
