Why first aid?

Simply, first aid can help you to save a life. What better reason could there be to learn these skills? The most common reason that people lose their lives and health due to emergency situations because people don't know how to help, or do not feel confident to help. We teach a simple system of first aid - teaching simple skills that build on each other, giving you the confidence to care!

Why should I learn first aid?

Time for a horrible mental picture. You are at a family meal and one of your loved ones suddenly starts to choke on a piece of food that they were swallowing, they're cluching their throat, unable to talk, and turning blue. What do you do? Or maybe you're out for a walk with your partner, when they fall and cut themselves on a piece of broken glass. How do you help to stop the bleeding? Why should you learn first aid? To help the ones you love. Do you care enough about your loved ones to learn how to help them? This is the reason we learnt first aid, the reason we teach first aid, and the reason we are so passionate about it.

What first aid courses do we teach?

As a company, Emergency First Response is the fastest-growing international CPR, Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and First Aid training organisation in the World. 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.

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'll also know that you're 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 programme is based on established instructional design and educational protocols to render an educationally valid and credible product.
