What is Emergency First Response?
Emergency First Response is an innovative CPR/first aid
program. Primary Care (CPR) prepares you to render aid to those with
life-threatening emergencies. Secondary Care (first aid) builds upon the
lessons of Primary Care and helps you assist those in need when Emergency
Medical Services are either delayed or unavailable.
Why Emergency First Response?
Accidents and illnesses happen every day. Some people need
only a helping hand while others may suffer serious permanent injuries
without help. By mastering Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and
Secondary Care (first aid) course skills you can render important care to
those in need.
You’ll also know that you’re learning state of the art skills, based on
the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the
International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). In addition, the
program is based on established instructional design and educational
protocols to render an educationally valid and credible product. Emergency
First Response courses also meet CPR requirements for participants seeking
certification through the American Council on Exercise.
Emergency First Response is also flexible – you can learn background
knowledge on your own time then conduct a practical, hands-on training
sessions with a qualified Emergency First Response instructor.
