The Fun Part

The fun part about Emergency First Response training is learning serious medical emergency response skills in an upbeat, positive environment. You gain the confidence that you are prepared to help in an emergency should the need arise. We can even add the Care for Children Course to your current EFR Course.

What You Learn in the EFR Primary and Secondary Care Courses

• BLS (Basic Life Support) CPR and rescue breathing at the layperson level
• AED (automated external defibrillator) use
• Preventing and caring for shock
• Spinal injury management
• Use of barriers to reduce disease transmission risk
• Basic first aid and first aid kit considerations

The Learning Materials You Need

The Primary and Secondary Care Manual and Video (either online you can buy that here! or physical materials from our dive centre) preview emergency scenarios and provide step-by-step skill demonstrations. Through a combination of independent study and skill practice with an instructor, you’ll build the confidence and skills to provide basic emergency care.

The Emergency First Response Care at a Glance card is a quick - reference guide for emergency situations. Designed to fit in a glove compartment or backpack, the Care at a Glance card is an important component for any first-aid or disaster preparedness kit.

Prerequisites

To enroll in Emergency First Response courses, you must:

• Care about other people and want to be able to assist them in a medical emergency

The Care for Children Course

This course focuses on how to provide primary and secondary care for children and even infants we suggest doing the Care for Children Course concurrently with your Emergency First Response Course. Emergency First Response is a PADI affiliate that specializes in teaching these lifesaving skills (that is available for anyone, not just divers). All PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors!
