The EFR courses are based on internationally recognized medical guidelines for emergency care.
The Emergency First Response - Primary Care (CPR) teaches participants how to respond to life-threatening emergencies. The course focuses on primary care through a combination of knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice to make sure participants have confidence in their ability to provide care if an emergency situation arises.
The Emergency First Response - Secondary Care (first aid) covers injuries or illnesses that are not immediately life threatening. Participants focus on secondary assessment and first aid through knowledge development, skill development again with realistic scenario practice.
