EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE Good skills for anyone involved in adventure sports

The Emergency First Response with EMERALD COAST SCUBA

First aid and CPR are good skills for anyone involved in adventure sports – just in case. And, you need these skills for the PADI Rescue Diver course. Emergency First Response is a PADI affiliate that specialises in teaching these lifesaving skills – and they’re for anyone, not just divers. Most PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors!

Have you ever wondered what you would do if somebody’s life was at risk – and only YOU were there? What if it was somebody you love? You will learn CPR (under the new standards), first aid and how to use an AED. This course meets United States Coast Guard standards as well as PADI Requirements for the Rescue Diver. You need this course because you are a mom, a dad, a brother or sister. You need this course because you are a co-worker, a husband, a wife or grandparent. The Emergency First Responder course is completed in as little as 4 hours (2 year certification). Infant and child training available too. Employers – you may get a break on your Workers Comp insurance for training your staff in CPR/First Aid.


The Fun Part

The fun part about Emergency First Response training is learning serious medical emergency response skills in an upbeat, positive environment. You gain the confidence that you are prepared to help in an emergency.


What You Learn in the EFR Primary and Secondary Care Courses

  • BLS (Basic Life Support) CPR and rescue breathing at the layperson level
  • AED (automated external defibrillator) use (optional)
  • Preventing and caring for shock
  • Spinal injury management
  • Use of barriers to reduce disease transmission risk
  • Basic first aid and first aid kit considerations

The Learning Materials You Need

Through a combination of independent study and skill practice with an instructor, you’ll build the confidence and skills to provide basic emergency care. The Primary and Secondary Care Manual and video on DVD preview emergency scenarios and provide step-by-step skill demonstrations.

The Emergency First Response Care at a Glance card is a quick-reference guide for emergency situations. Designed to fit in a glove compartment or backpack, the Care at a Glance card is an important component for any first-aid or disaster preparedness kit.
