Emergency First Response (EFR course | CPR and First Aid classes
 

Emergency First Response course | You can get CPR, AED and First Aid training from Emergency First Response. Our training approach to training builds your confidence to provide care when there is a medical emergency - and confidence is everything when a true emergency is at hand. We do this by teaching CPR and first aid skills in a non-stressful learning environment and providing more hands-on skill practice time. General academic information is covered using our independent study materials. This allows the instructor to focus class time on skill development rather than lecture. More practice time means better skill retention, which gives you the confidence to respond in the event of a medical emergency.An accident can happen anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s a burn, scrape, broken bone, or something even more serious, it’s important to know what steps to take.

In a serious medical emergency, every second is precious and there’s no time to consult "doctor internet". With first aid and CPR training from Emergency First Response (EFR), you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to help someone in need and become an essential link in the chain of survival.
