Emergency First Response What would you do if a colleague collapsed in the workplace? Would you know how to assist a family member who became ill? Do you even own a first aid kit? If you want to learn First Aid in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere then the PADI Emergency First Response course is for you, whether you’re a diver or not. PADI's Emergency First Response (EFR) program is the first and crucial step towards faster, more thought full and life-saving 'First Aid'. You learn to stay calm in order to assess an emergency correctly and to take the necessary steps until professional help arrives.

Course Content The course incorporates independent study to prepare you for a classroom and hands-on skill development session with your instructor. You will learn the same patient care techniques used by medical professionals, but at a lay person level. Practical Application Specific to learning philosophy, both courses establish skill retention through increased skill demonstration, practice and repetition. The Course is designed to help participants remember appropriate emergency care procedures in times of need. It also encourages students to apply these procedures by assisting those needing Emergency Medical Care. Within the course segments, the CPR and First Aid skills are integrated into an easy-to-remember emergency care sequence. The EFR Primary Course teaches students to deal with possible life threatening injuries and apply techniques such as CPR and AED. The EFR secondary course covers secondary patient assessment and first aid. This covers head to toe evaluations of patients, illness assessments and how to bandage or splint a wound when Emergency Medical Services are either delayed or unavailable. Pre-Requisites None Course Duration Depending on the amount of independent study the Primary Care and Secondary Care courses may be completed in as little as one day. The course price includes your own manual, DVD and certification card
