PADI EFR - Emergency First Response Course

Whether you are embarking on the Rescue Diver Course, and need to gain basic first aid skills or you simply want to increase your ability to deal with on-land medical emergencies, this course is ideal.

Emergency First Response training focuses on building confidence in lay rescuers and increasing their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency.

Course participants learn simple to follow steps for emergency care and practice applying skills in a no stressful learning environment. All courses are supported by self-study manuals, videos, and quick reference cards to enhance learning and allow you to start learning right away. EFR courses meet the CPR and first aid training requirements for the PADI Rescue Diver course and all professional-level ratings. Most PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors.

You will learn how to deal with both Primary and Secondary medical emergencies through a combination of knowledge development and practical hands-on training in areas such as CPR and first aid:

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 any heartbeat, may have a spinal injury, and maybe in shock or who may have serious bleeding. You’ll learn how to perform CPR 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.

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

As well as being an internationally qualified first aider, you are now ready to apply this and further knowledge and skills through the PADI Rescue course.
