The Emergency First Response Course is a non diving specific course that teaches you skills you may need to apply in everyday life such as bandaging, bleeding and shock management as well as how to administer CPR.
 
The EFR course is a great course for anyone interested in life saving skills and is also a pre-requisite to the Rescue Diver Course.

Learn in the comfort of your own home! With two or more participants the course can conducted at your premises.

Primary Care

Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) teaches participants how to respond to life-threatening emergencies.

The course focuses on primary care through a combination of knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice to make sure participants have the confidence in their ability to provide care when emergency situations arise. 

First Aid - Secondary Care

Emergency First Response Secondary Care (first aid) covers injuries or illnesses that are not immediately life threatening. Participants focus on secondary assessment and first aid through knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice.

The Emergency First Response Care for Children course is an innovative CPR, AED and First Aid training course that teaches participants how to provide emergency care for injured or ill children (ages one to eight) and infants (less than one year old). This course content is based on guidelines from the Paediatric Working Group of ILCOR and is HSE approved.
 
Participants learn about the types of medical emergencies that children face, and how they differ from adult conditions. The curriculum also includes attending to emergency situations with children, the emotional aspects of caring for children, secondary care for children, and preventing common injuries and illnesses in children.

The EFR Care for Children course trains candidates to follow the same priorities of care used by medical professionals. Students master the priorities and the procedures of patient care for infants and children in a non-stressful learning environment, which reduces the performance anxieties that interfere with learning and enhances confidence when rendering aid in a real medical emergency.

In the UK, professional child care providers such as nannies, nursery carers and childminders must complete a suitable paediatric first aid course at regular intervals. The Emergency First Response 12 hour Care for Children course complies with the Early Years First Aid Training Guidance issued by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES).
