Emergency First Response Course

Emergency First Response Primary & Secondary Care (EFR) courses meet the CPR and first aid training requirements for the PADI Rescue Diver course and all professional-level ratings. You can take the ‘Learn at Home’ option, where you complete the EFR theory before you start the course.

The course is based on internationally recognised medical guidelines for emergency care.

• Primary Care (CPR) – This course teaches you the steps and techniques for handling life-threatening emergencies. You’ll practice eight 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 to how to perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) 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.
