EFR CPR and AED TRAINING Course
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.
What is the EFR CPR and AED Course?
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.

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.
