Emergency First Response Course
Know how to respond to emergencies – just in case. Statistics show you’re more likely to give first aid to someone you know than a stranger. When minutes count, you’ll be the person to give the necessary aid to a family member, dive buddy or co-workers, before Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrive.
The Emergency First Response (EFR) Primary and Secondary Care course is an accredited CPR and First Aid program that helps divers advance their knowledge, providing the skills they need to potentially save a life.
The course builds the confidence and skills needed to provide basic emergency care. You won’t just watch a video, you’ll get hands on practice with a CPR mannequin, simulate bandaging, role play an emergency scenario and other skills. You’ll get to practice each skill until you feel comfortable.
eLearning®:
Online learning makes it easy to fit a CPR and first aid course into a busy schedule, and also can revisit knowledge anytime. Watch videos of different first aid techniques and learn what steps to take in an emergency.
Face to face:
Learn essential skills for helping others in an emergency. Get hands-on experience administering CPR using a special manikin and AED machine, practice bandaging and splinting, and apply your new skills in a role-playing scenario and build up self-confidence.
**There is no entry requirement, if you desire to help others, and non-divers can join in this course.**
While the material taught in this course is serious, it’s taught in a positive, upbeat environment. Here’s what you’ll learn:
