EFR: EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE or Emergency Response Course,

​

First aid training encompasses adults, children and infants, CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and first aid skills, and incorporates automatic external defibrillator (AED) training and emergency oxygen use.

Emergency First Response also offers a comprehensive first aid offering in the workplace, specially designed to meet national and international standards in compliance for CPR and first aid courses in the workplace.

EFR is flexible in designing the course to meet planning and training needs. They can be taught in private lessons or in groups.

 

Emergency First Response courses give rescuers the confidence to provide care when faced with a medical emergency. Participants learn and practice the same techniques and principles of patient care used by healthcare professionals, at a low level but sufficient to maintain the victim until doctors arrive and give them every chance of survival. .
