After the recent hurricanes in the Americas and in the wake of the tsunami in Asia, emergency preparedness is gnawing at the edge of our collective consciousness; it reinforces the need for all of us to be prepared to be self-sufficient in a time of crisis --especially in the magnitude of disasters like the world has seen in the past year. We also face the omnipresent threat of terrorist attacks; each of us may be called upon to help a fellow traveler, possibly in the midst of our daily commute to work or while shopping at our local market. Now is the time to take stock of your personal situation. Are you prepared?
Preparedness goes far beyond having a flashlight, water and a battery-powered radio. Having training in CPR and first aid is critical, as you are likely to be the emergency responder for your family or in your workplace or neighborhood when Emergency Medical Services are delayed or unavailable.
Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) teaches participants how to respond to life-threatening emergencies. The course focuses on primary care through a combination of knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice to make sure participants have the confidence in their ability to provide care when emergency situations arise.

EFR Automated External Defibrillator course (AED) for Scuba Diving represents entry level training designed to educate the general diving (and qualified non-diving) public to better recognise the warning signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and administer first aid using Basic Life Support techniques and an Automated External Defibrillator while activating the local emergency medical services, (EMS) and / or arranging for evacuation to the nearest appropriate medical facility.

Receiving adequate oxygen is crucial, especially after any serious injury or illness. Emergency oxygen also aids in the treatment and prevention of shock. You can decrease patient stress and support the respiratory system by administering emergency oxygen. The following scuba diving related illness/injures can be assisted with the use of emergency oxygen administration: near drowning; decompression sickness; lung expansion injuries.
Oxygen is extremely important as all living cells in our bodies engage in oxidative metabolism, the process of using oxygen to convert chemical energy required for life. A lack of or reduction in oxygen in the bloodstream can and often is life-threatening. Emergency oxygen is therefore recommended for breathing & non-breathing patients, who may be suffering from a lack of oxygen.

During the Emergency First Response Instructor course, you will build on your skill as an Emergency Responder and focus on developing your instructional abilities to teach these skills to others.
The Instructor course provides you with the additional training necessary to teach the Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid) and Care for Children courses. (Region-specific courses including First Aid at Work Asia Pacific and First Aid at Work Great Britain require additional training.)
Through a multi-media approach of independent study, classroom sessions and practical teaching assignments, you learn to conduct Emergency First Response courses.
