Teach First Aid, CPR, and Emergency Care — Essential Skills for Everyone
Do you want to teach life-saving skills that go beyond scuba diving? The PADI Emergency First Response (EFR) Instructor course trains you to teach CPR and first aid based on internationally recognised guidelines. As an EFR Instructor, you’ll be able to offer emergency care courses to anyone — divers and non-divers alike — making it one of the most versatile and valuable certifications in the dive industry.
At Diving Group Portofino, we offer professional EFR Instructor training in the beautiful surroundings of Portofino Marine Protected Area, Italy.
Who Should Take This Course?
CPR and First Aid are essential life-saving skills that are important for everyone, not just scuba divers. As a PADI Emergency First Response (EFR) Instructor, you will be qualified to teach internationally recognised CPR and First Aid courses to anyone, not only divers.
The great advantage of EFR courses is that they are designed to make learning easy and effective, creating a comfortable and supportive environment where students can practice emergency care skills. After completing the course, your students will feel confident and prepared to help someone in need.
To enrol in the EFR Instructor course, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have completed EFR Primary and Secondary Care training (CPR and First Aid) within the past 24 months
Note: The EFR Instructor certification is required to become a PADI Instructor, but you don’t have to wait until you start your professional training — you can complete or refresh this qualification during your PADI Instructor course.
