EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE

Emergency First Response is the fastest-growing international CPR, AED and First Aid training organization. With more than 31.000 instructors worldwide, EFR is backed by 36 years of experience in the development and delivery of instructional courses, training materials and educational curricula. EFR courses have gained widespread international acceptance.

Emergency First Response courses follow current emergency patient care standards as published in the American Heart Association Guidelines 2005 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care and the Basic Life Support (BLS) Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). You'll master these skills with the guidance of an Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer, giving you the confidence to provide care in an emergency situation.

If you enjoy teaching, you can build on what you learn in the Emergency First Response Primary Care, Secondary Care and Care for Children courses by becoming an Emergency First Response Instructor yourself! As an EFR Instructor, you'll find many opportunities to teach CPR and First Aid in the workplace and to lay people in your community. Please feel free to contact me for more info.
