This program is designed for divers and non-divers alike.

Why Emergency First Response?

Accidents and illnesses happen every day. Some people need only a helping hand while others may suffer serious permanent injuries without help. By mastering Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (first aid) course skills you can render important care to those in need.

You'll also know that you're learning state of the art skills, based on the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). In addition, the program is based on established instructional design and educational protocols to render an educationally valid and credible product.

The program begins with a self study module that takes you through all the background knowledge on your own time.  Once that is completed, you will join our instructors for the hands-on, skills training sessions.

  • American Council on Exercise
  • US Department of Labor
  • OSHA
    (Cal/OSHA, Region 10 including WA & OR, Federal US OSHA Guideline 29 CFR 1910.15., )
