Emergency First Response

Emergency First Response

BEGINNER

In the Emergency First Response (EFR) course by PADI, training is divided into Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid). Primary Care (CPR) prepares you to handle life-threatening emergencies. You learn to assess the situation, provide rescue breathing, perform CPR, manage choking incidents, control severe bleeding, treat shock, and care for possible spinal injuries. The focus is on sustaining life until professional medical help arrives. Secondary Care (First Aid) focuses on non-life-threatening conditions where medical assistance may be delayed. You practice patient assessments and learn to care for injuries such as cuts, sprains, burns, or illnesses. Skills include proper bandaging, splinting, and providing comfort while monitoring the patient’s condition. Together, these two areas give you a complete set of emergency response skills—ensuring that you can act confidently in both critical and everyday situations. The course emphasizes hands-on practice and simple step-by-step techniques, helping you build the confidence to respond quickly and effectively. Whether you are a diver preparing for higher-level training or someone who simply wants to be ready in case of emergencies, the EFR course provides essential, internationally recognized CPR and first aid skills that can make a real difference.
