Emergency First Response
Why Emergency First Response?
Emergency First Response (EFR) is the fastest-growing international CPR, Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and First Aid training organization. Dedicated to training the lay rescuer, EFR courses encompasses adult, child and infant CPR skills, provides AED and First Aid training, and feature an outstanding First Aid at Work component.
The company’s award-winning programs and state-of-the-art training materials make it a favourite among kayakers around the world. Many kayakers take the Emergency First Response courses to meet program prerequisites, such as kayak Instructor 3.
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 confidant 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 (HSA Guideline), and incorporates the latest procedures for emergency patient care. Other organizations that recognize EFR as meeting their requirements are United States Coast Guard, The Boy Scouts and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), to name a few.
