Emergency First Response training focuses on building trust in nonprofessional first responders and increasing their readiness to respond when faced with a medical emergency. Course participants learn easy steps for emergency care and practice applying techniques in a stress-free learning environment. All courses are supported with self-study manuals, videos and quick reference cards to improve learning and allow you to start learning immediately.

EFR courses meet first aid and CPR training requirements for the PADI Rescue Diver course and for all professional levels. Most PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors.

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

​Primary Care (CPR) - This course teaches you the steps and techniques to manage life-threatening emergencies. You will practice eight techniques to help nonbreathing patients who have no pulse, may have a spinal cord injury, may be in shock, or may have severe bleeding. You will learn how to perform CPR and continue to monitor the patient so that it provides the best chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.

Secondary Care (First Aid) - As many medical conditions do not endanger life and emergency medical services are sometimes delayed or unavailable, This course teaches you to provide first aid that reduces pain and the risk of further damage. You will learn to evaluate a wide variety of injuries and diseases and will practice bandages and immobilizations.

​

Child Care - This course allows participants to learn, practice and apply specific emergency care techniques to help infants and children in medical emergencies. It is designed for people who work with children or who are likely to have to respond to emergencies involving younger children. This course is often integrated with the Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) courses.

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

   First Aid at Work - In some areas, such as Britain, Australia and Canada, government regulations require broader first aid and CPR training for the workplace. First Aid at Work programs designed for these areas include additional topics and techniques to meet the requirements while following the EFR’s easy-to-follow training method.

   EFR Refreshment - It is a good idea to refresh your first aid and CPR techniques every 24 months, and that is why the EFR Refreshment course is designed. Focusing on key techniques, the course allows you to stay up-to-date and ready to help when needed.
