Emergency First Response Instructor Course

As as Scuba Instructor, you will often teach classes that require a First Aid, CPR training as prerequisites to programs such as the Rescue Diver or Divemaster. By qualifying as an EFR Instructor, you will be able to teach your students yourself; and you don't have to worry about loosing your students to some other instructor. As a DAN Instructor you can offer O2 training, Hazardous Marine Life Injuries and more.

What do I need to start?

  • must be 18 years old

What will I do?

During the course you will build on your skill as an Emergency Responder and focus on developing your instructional abilities to teach these skills to others. The Instructor course provides you with the additional training necessary to teach the Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid) and Care for Children courses. (Region-specific courses including First Aid at Work Asia Pacific and First Aid at Work Great Britain require additional training.) Through a multi-media approach of independent study, classroom sessions and practical teaching assignments, you learn to conduct Emergency First Response courses.

The Instructor Course covers specific goals and performance requirements for the Primary Care, Secondary Care and Care for Children courses, along with instruction on how to structure learning, the requirements of performance-based training, and your role as the instructor in the learning environment. You also learn how to motivate students, evaluate student knowledge, present course content effectively, become proficient in developing students' hands-on skills practice sessions, and are taught how to present an effective scenario-based learning experience.
