EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE
& REFRESHER COURSE

Whether at home, at work or just at the park playing with the dog, would you know what to do if someone nearby needed emergency medical aid? Every day trained laypeople are providing a helping hand which may prevent death, suffering and long term disability. Our EFR course will teach you the steps and techniques for handling emergencies through the ABCD's to a patient's lifeline.

Independent study with your Emergency First Response Manual and DVD will prepare you for the skills portion of the course. Your instructor will demonstrate various skills, allow you to practice the skills and introduce you to a number of thought-provoking scenarios. You will also be introduced to Automated External Defibrillators and Emergency Oxygen care (they are simply orientations to AED and Oxygen care. We do provide separate certification courses for each).
