Emergency First Response

Requirements:

• No diving experience required
• Willingness to learn CPR and first aid
• Minimum age 12 years

Description:

<p>Emergency First Response isn't a diving course at all. There's no water involved. It teaches the same primary and secondary care skills you would find in any workplace first aid course: CPR, managing an unresponsive casualty, controlling bleeding, and assessing injuries when professional help isn't immediately to hand.</p><p>The course takes a single day. It's built around practice rather than lectures. You'll work through each skill hands-on, usually on a manikin and with a partner, until the sequence starts to feel familiar. Because it's a recognised standalone certification, plenty of people take it purely for work or family reasons, with no intention of ever diving.</p><p>For divers, though, it's a required step before Rescue Diver. The certification has to be current when you start that course, meaning earned within the previous 24 months. There's no diving experience needed to enrol. The only prerequisites are being at least 12 years old and willing to learn.</p>

Notes:

• Price does not include PADI/SSI manual or certification fees.
