EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE

Emergency First Response First Aid Course

EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE 

£150

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.

The Emergency First Response course is an innovative CPR / First Aid program, which is split into two segments; Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid). In addition we also offer full Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training.

​

The EFR course is based on internationally recognised medical guidelines for Emergency Care & is the fastest-growing international CPR, Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and First Aid training organization.

​

Dedicated to training the lay rescuer, EFR courses encompasses adult, child and infant CPR skills, provides AED and First Aid training, and feature an outstanding First Aid at Work component.

First Aid Kit

Many divers take the Emergency First Response courses to meet program prerequisites, such as PADI Rescue Diver, or as preparation for becoming a PADI Divemaster. However, most have also found the EFR program to be important in every day life. They have taken a significant step in emergency readiness, and feel confident that they can provide care should an emergency situation arise.

The Emergency First Response program meets requirements for CPR and First Aid in the workplace (OSHA Guideline 29 CFR 1910.151), and incorporates the latest procedures for emergency patient care. Other organizations that recognize EFR as meeting their requirements are United States Coast Guard, The Boy Scouts of America, and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), to name a few.

​

Course Overview​

 

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 Sessions

 

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.
