What is Emergency First Response?
Emergency First Response is an innovative CPR/first aid program. Primary Care
(CPR) prepares you to render aid to those with life-threatening emergencies.
Secondary Care (first aid) builds upon the lessons of Primary Care and helps
you assist those in need when Emergency Medical Services are either delayed or
unavailable.
Why Emergency First Response?
Accidents and illnesses happen every day. Some people need only a helping hand
while others may suffer serious permanent injuries without help. By mastering
Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (first aid)
course skills you can render important care to those in need.
You’ll also know that you’re learning state of the art skills, based on the
consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the
International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Emergency First
Response courses also meet CPR requirements for participants seeking
certification through the American Council on Exercise.
Emergency First Response is also flexible – you can learn background knowledge
on your own time then conduct a practical, hands-on training sessions with a
qualified Emergency First Response instructor.
This class is prerequisite for the PADI Rescue Diver course and
Divemaster programs and is also designed for divers and non-divers alike,
so bring a friend!.
What do I need to start?
