Emergency First Response Instructor

CPR and first aid are key skills that are important to everyone, not just scuba divers. As an Emergency First Response Instructor, you teach skills based on internationally recognized emergency care guidelines, and you can offer courses to anyone. The great thing about EFR courses is they make learning easy by providing a comfortable environment to practice emergency care skills. Your students finish the course feeling confident with their new skills and ready to help someone in need.

Who Can Enroll?

The only requirements are that you're at least 18 years old and have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months.

An EFR Instructor rating is required to become a PADI Instructor, but you don't have to wait until you're ready to go pro.

You can complete or refresh this training during your PADI Instructor training.

What does the EFRI Course teach you?

During the EFRI we will teach you how to deliver first aid skill-based teaching presentations and increase your knowledge and understanding of first aid treatment.  

Take your first aid skills onto a new level and gain the ability to perform role model skill demonstrations and teach and certify Emergency First Responders.

Learning the EFR Instructor course enables you to share your knowledge and skills of primary and secondary care to others.

Your role as an EFR Instructor is to be a coach that creates a positive learning environment. Along with learning how to structure and organize EFR courses, you practice:

• Presenting course content.
• Encouraging self-discovery in students.
• Evaluating student understanding and skill mastery during hands-on skills practice.
• Managing effective scenario-based learning experiences.

During the course we will cover two parts: Primary & Secondary Care Instructor Course (EFRI) and EFR Care for Children course.

Each part consists of four sections:

• Course Overview and standards
• Knowledge Development
• Skill practice and development
• Scenario practice
