Emergency First Response Course

Do you want to learn CPR and improve your first aid skills?

The Emergency First Response Course Primary and Secondary care training will teach you what to do in the critical moments between when a life-threatening emergency occurs and when emergency medical services arrive. 

The course focuses on building confidence in lay rescuers and increasing their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency. Course participants learn simple to follow steps for emergency care and practice applying skills in a non-stressful learning environment. All courses are supported by self-study manuals, videos and quick reference cards to enhance learning and allow you to start learning right away.

What will I learn during the course?

You will learn eight essential skills for helping others in an emergency. Get hands-on experience administering CPR using a special manikin, practice bandaging and splinting, and apply your new skills in a role-playing scenario.

As an example, during the Emergency First Response Course, you will learn how to respond to a variety of illnesses and injuries and help someone who is choking. Also how to handle a spinal injury and apply bandages and splints.
