The Emergency First Response program is based on state-of-the-art instructional design and established with international patient care protocols. Emergency First Response follows the Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and the standards set by the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). ILCOR is an international standards group representing many of the world’s major resuscitation organisations.
The EFR programs use flexible delivery method to meet your scheduling needs and participants learning styles. The Instructors are using standardised methods and materials for delivering the program, all learning outcomes are clearly specified in terms of knowledge, understanding and practical application.
Participants master the required skills and knowledge through a combination of independent study, instructor led skill development and scenario practice. Instructors will add relevant information specific to your local environment and/ or local laws and regulations including Risk Assessment, Safety Procedures and Emergency First Aid Equipment requirements.
The program methodology is based on seeing, hearing and doing and on a continuous assessment process. As a leader in the field of first aid training, EFR has applied the performance-based philosophy of training. Performance is measured individually as student’s progress through the skills. The main emphasis is aimed at hands on patient care and is structured from simple to complex.
Consistency in training and assessment is achieved by requiring instructors to undergo a formal Instructor training course. Instructors are supplied with the state-of-the-art instructional materials, lesson guides and participant materials. This provides for an objective orientated, and consistent standard of delivery world-wide. Instructors are updated on a quarterly basis with a training bulletin/newsletter. Instructors are also required to renew every two years and must fulfill certain renewal-requirements during that period.
Retraining is recommended every two years. After the successful course completion, Emergency First Responders can refresh their skills by participating in an instructor led skills practice sessi
on or retake the whole program.
