What is Emergency First Response?

Emergency First Response is an innovative CPR/first aid programe. Primary Care (CPR) prepares you to render aid to those with life-threatening emergencies. Secondary Care (first aid) builds upon the lessons of Primary Care and helps you assist those in need when Emergency Medical Services are either delayed or unavailable. We provide you with the training at Simply Diving, Costa del Sol, Spain.

Why Emergency First Response?

Accidents and illnesses happen every day. Some people need only a helping hand while others may suffer serious permanent injuries without help. By mastering Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (first aid) course skills you can render important care to those in need.
You will also know that you are learning state of the art skills, based on the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). In addition, the program is based on established instructional design and educational protocols to render an educationally valid and credible product. Emergency First Response courses also meet CPR requirements for participants seeking certification through the American Council on Exercise.
Emergency First Response is also flexible – you can learn background knowledge on your own time then conduct a practical, hands-on training session with a qualified Emergency First Response instructor.

Who can take an Emergency First Response provider course?
