PADI Emergency First Response Instructor Course

As an EFR Instructor, you will teach first aid/cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) qualification to everybody who is interested in Primary and Secondary Care, like your rescue and/or divemaster diving students.

The Emergency First Response Instructor course provides the training necessary to teach the Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid), CPR & AED and Care for Children Courses.

The course builds on the candidate’s skills as primary and secondary care providers and focuses on developing their instructional abilities. Through independent study, classroom sessions and practice teaching assignments, instructor candidates learn to conduct the Emergency First Response program.

You must become a PADI Emergency First Response (EFR) Instructor before applying for your PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification.

Our EFR Instructor course is scheduled during the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), to allow you to meet this requirement as soon as you pass the Instructor Examination.

During the two day course you learn how to follow internationally recognized guidelines in teaching this course, and how to make it fun! You also learn how to promote the course effectively to both divers and non-divers.
