The PADI EFR Course is PADI’s CPR and First Aid certification and several courses are available.
All are non-diving courses, suitable for divers and non-divers, young and old alike. You will receive training in CPR and emergency medical care – invaluable information that every person should know. A current EFR or equivalent first aid/CPR certification is a pre-requisite for PADI’s Rescue Diver, Divemaster, EFR Instructor and Instructor courses.
The course is split into two parts:
- Primary Care (CPR) - Learn rescue breaths, CPR and revival techniques.
- Secondary Care (First Aid) - First aid for many common injuries.
The Emergency First Response course:
- Follows protocols from the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).
- Satisfies CAL-OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Administration) CPR requirements
- Meets CPR requirements for participants seeking certification through the American Council on Exercise.
This course may be appropriate for your business requirements. We can teach it at our facility in Malapascua or at your business anywhere on Cebu island. Group rates are available.
Prerequisites
Everyone can join this course, all techniques taught apply to real life situations and emergencies.
For Divers, we will also discuss dive-related injuries and the first aid required. This course works very well with the Rescue diver course, and we usually try to teach them at the same time.
Care for Children EFR CFC
A special CPR and First Aid course focusing on the needs of children in a medical emergency. A must for all parents and anyone else who spends time around babies and children.
