Emergency First
Response Instructor (EFR & CFC)
This comprehensive one and a half day program,
allows PADI Members - Divemasters, Assistant Instructors
and Instructors - to become Emergency First Response
Instructors (EFRI).
The EFR Instructor course is conducted in a relaxed
and low stress environment. It is although regularly
scheduled during our IDC or it can be conducted
at any time.
To enroll in an EFR Instructor training program,
you'll must:
1. Be renewed as a PADI Member
(Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Instructor)
for the current year.
2. Have successfully completed
an Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR)
or another qualifying CPR course within the
past 24 months.
3. Have successfully completed
an Emergency First Response Secondary Care (First
Aid) or another qualifying First Aid course
within the past 24 months.
4. Have successfully completed
a Care For Children or another qualifying course
within the past 24 months.
After completion of the program and after receiving
written approval from PADI, you will be authorized
to teach Emergency First Response Primary Care
(CPR), Secondary Care (First-Aid) and Care For
Children courses.
 The
optional skills for your students include, Automated
External Defibrillator use (AED) and basic use
of Emergency oxygen.
This course teaches EFR Instructors how to organize,
conduct and promote the Emergency First Response
and Care For Children courses - both include Primary
and Secondary Care - We focus on hands application
of the skills with thorough instructor led demonstrations
and guided practice.
With CPR / First Aid Training being a certification
requirement for several PADI certification levels
(including; Rescue Diver, Divemaster, Assistant
Instructor and OWSI), it is one of most marketable
course in the PADI System of diver education.
By being able to offer this yourself - your students
will not have to look elsewhere for their training
they need - after all …
…Why send your
students to another instructor!
Also since the Emergency First Response course
is not diving specific, you can offer this to
both divers and non-divers alike who want training
in Primary Care and Secondary Care.

who are current CPR/first aid instructors with
