Emergency First Response (EFR) Course combines two courses: Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) Courses. You'll learn CPR and First Aid following the same steps as medical emergency professionals and practise applying skills in a nonstressful learning environment.
You'll learn the skills through a combination of knowledge development, skills development and realistic scenario practice. The focus in the EFR course is very much on hands-on practice.
