Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and first aid are essential skills that everyone should know, not just scuba divers. As an Emergency First Response Instructor, you teach skills based on internationally recognized emergency care guidelines, and you can offer courses to anyone. The great thing about Emergency First Response courses is that they make learning easy by providing a comfortable environment in which to practice emergency care skills. Your students finish the course feeling confident with their new skills and ready to help someone in need.

As an Emergency First Response Instructor, you will be authorized to teach the following EFR courses:

• EFR Primary and Secondary Care
• EFR CPR and AED
• EFR Care for Children

Your Emergency First Response Instructor Course includes the following:

• Emergency First Response Instructor eLearning
• EFRI Digital Instructor Crewpac

The following is not included:

• EFR Instructor Application Fee of $146.00. This is payable directly to PADI at the time of certification.

The only requirements are that you're at least 18 years old and have completed Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months.
