About this course
The Emergency First Response Instructor course qualifies you to teach CPR and first aid to divers and non-divers. It combines independent study, classroom sessions and practical teaching.
A First Aid Instructor rating is required to become a PADI Instructor, so EFR Instructor is part of our IDC. It also runs as a stand-alone course for dive professionals and anyone who wants to teach life-saving skills.
