BECOME AN EFR INSTRUCTOR


Creating Confidence to Care

Emergency First Response (EFR) is the fastest-growing international CPR, AED and first aid training organisation. With more than 31,000 instructors worldwide, EFR is backed by 36 years of experience in the development and delivery of instructional courses, training materials and educational curricula. EFR courses have gained widespread national and international acceptance.

The EFR course curriculum is based on patient care standards as published in the American Heart Association Guidelines 2005 Standards for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, and the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). ILCOR is an international standards group representing most of the world's major resuscitation organisations.

Focused on training you as a lay rescuer, the EFR approach to training builds your confidence as a lay rescuer and will increase your ability to respond when faced with a medical emergency by teaching you the skills you need in a non-stressful learning environment. Participants are given as much practice as necessary to master and retain these skills.

Become an EFR instructor and boost your income

If you have a interest in first aid training it is very easy to become an EFR instructor. By enrolling in an EFR instructor training course you can join this excellent team and deliver your own EFR First Aid courses to boost your income and provide a valuable service to your community. The course is both challenging and enjoyable and it can be completed in just two days. You only need be 18 years old and have completed adult, child and infant CPR and first aid training in the past 24 months.
During the EFR Instructor course, we build on your skill as an Emergency Responder and focus on developing your instructional abilities, to enable you to teach these skills to others. The Instructor course provides you with the additional training necessary to teach the EFR Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid) and Care for Children courses. Through a multi-media approach of independent study, classroom sessions and practical teaching assignments, you learn to conduct the EFR courses.

The instructor course covers specific goals and performance requirements for all of these courses, along with instruction on how to structure learning, how to meet the requirements of performance-based training, and it will help you to develop your role as the instructor in the learning environment. You will also learn how to motivate students, evaluate student knowledge, present course content effectively, become proficient in developing students' hands-on skills practice sessions, and you will be taught how to present an effective scenario-based learning experience.
