Course Highlights
What You’ll Learn
Learn how to assess an emergency, protect yourself while providing care and recognise when someone needs urgent help.
Primary Care covers immediately life-threatening situations, including CPR, choking, serious bleeding and shock. Secondary Care focuses on injury and illness assessment, bandaging and splinting. You’ll also receive an introduction to emergency oxygen use.
Practical Training
Complete your EFR eLearning before practising with your instructor. Using training equipment and realistic scenarios, you’ll work through the skills needed to provide initial care.
Your instructor will demonstrate techniques, answer questions and provide feedback as you practise. The aim is to help you understand what to do and feel more prepared to help someone.
