The Emergency First Response (EFR) CPR and AED Training Course is a practical, comprehensive program designed to empower individuals with the skills and confidence to act in critical emergency situations. Knowing CPR and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can be the difference between life and death, and this course ensures you are prepared for such moments. It’s ideal for both individuals and professionals, such as dentists and general practitioners, who need to meet their continuing professional development (CPD) requirements.
This hands-on course is structured to make participants proficient in performing CPR and using an AED on adults, children, and infants. The curriculum also includes life-saving techniques for choking scenarios. It emphasizes practical application with ample time for skill practice, boosting your confidence and readiness to intervene during emergencies.
This course is focused on building confidence through guided practice and hands-on learning. Aligning with the latest Resuscitation Council guidelines to provide up-to-date methods.
The EFR CPR & AED Course will teach you:

Cardiac arrests often occur without warning, even in individuals with no prior history of heart disease. Fewer than 8% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims survive, but proper CPR and AED use can improve outcomes, reduce recovery time, and prevent temporary or long-term disabilities.
This training also equips participants to remain calm, think clearly, and make informed decisions under pressure—key factors in handling emergencies effectively.

A really good training course, very professionally presented by Tracy. I’ve been on lots of training courses over the years and too often they can be soporific! Tracy is one of those rare training professionals who can deliver training and keep a person interested all day! Great course. Highly recommended!

Couldn't recommend Tracy and her team enough for a first aid course. Having to renew it every 3 years used to send me to sleep. Not with these guys! Professional, up to date and with lots of toys to play with, without the death by powerpoint.
