As part of the EFR course fee you will receive, in advance if you book ahead, the EFR manual / workbook in order that you can prepare yourself on the course content. Reading the manual beforehand gives you a much better understanding of what skills practice you'll do. It will also provide you with a great reference book on First Aid in the home, at work or in the car.

Upon completion of the course you will also receive an EFR Certificate and ID Card.

If you would like to purchase the DVD or Video, used during the course, then ask your instructor, as that will be a great tool for reviewing the skills and scenarios again at a later stage, particularly when you're doing a refresher course 23 or 24 months later.

Emergency First Responder

This one day CPR and First Aid course teaches you how to help others in need and deal with life threatening emergencies possible in every day situation at home, work or in public.
