Emergency First Response

For divers and nondivers who want practical first-aid and CPR education.
Course details

Primary and Secondary Care combines learning with hands-on practice. It is distinct from a CPR-only course; discuss the appropriate combination for your diving pathway. Online or in-person study alone does not complete the course; instructor-led skills practice must also be completed.

  • Learn primary-care response, including CPR.
  • Explore secondary care for injuries and illnesses.
  • Practice assessment, bandaging, and related first-aid skills.

Buying Emergency First Response — In-shop learning — $126.00 per learner. To configure learning with practical training, choose course options in Training.
