What is the Emergency First Response (EFR) Primary and Secondary Care course?

  • Injury assessment.
  • Disease assessment.
  • Wound dressing.
  • Immobilization of bone fractures and dislocations.

Why is this course important?

• Saving lives: The skills you learn could save someone's life - a family member, friend, colleague, or even a stranger.
• Increased self-confidence: Knowing what to do in an emergency situation provides confidence and reduces confusion at a critical moment.
• Requirement for diving courses: The EFR certification (or equivalent) is a mandatory requirement to begin the PADI Rescue Diver course, as well as all PADI professional-level courses (e.g. Divemaster, Instructor).
• Useful in everyday life: Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time – at home, at work, while traveling. These skills are useful in any situation in life.
