This course provides the 2 yearly Refresher necessary to maintain your First Aid skills as a Rescue Diver. Many divers take the Emergency First Response courses to meet program prerequisites, such as Rescue Diver, or as preparation for becoming a Divemaster. However, most have also found the EFR program to be important in every day life. They have taken a significant step in emergency preparedness, and feel confident that they can provide care should an emergency situation arise.
The Emergency First Response program meets requirements for CPR and First Aid in the workplace (OSHA Guideline 29 CFR 1910.151), and incorporates the latest procedures for emergency patient care.
This is also a pre-requisite for the Rescue Course and must be refreshed every 2 years.
You must have completed an EFR Primary & Secondary Care Course before you can enrol on a Refresher.
