 The Emergency First Response (EFR) Instructor including Care for Children Instructor course is an extended 2-day course. As an EFR Instructor you may provide interested individuals with the training necessary in EFR Primary Care (CPR), AED and basic oxygen administration, EFR Secondary Care (First Aid) and Care for Children courses (including optional recommended skills, AED and emergency oxygen.) This course builds on your skills as primary and secondary care providers and focuses on developing your instructional abilities. Through independent study, classroom sessions and practice teaching assignments you will learn to organize, conduct, market and promote the EFR programs. The class emphasizes hands-on skill practice and demonstrations and builds self-confidence.
Entry Requirements:
To enroll in an EFR Instructor Course, an individual must:
- Have EFR Primary and Secondary Care (or qualifying training) within the past 24 months.
Practicing medical professionals (e.g. paramedics, EMT's, nurses and doctors) are not required to have completed the Emergency Fist Response Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid) and Care for Children courses. Although participating in these provider level courses is beneficial, it isn't required since professional medical training serves as an equivalent.
Since March 2009 all Instructor candidates need to be certified as EFR Instructors before their OWSI certification is processed, This means doing the EFR Instructor course before the IDC Prep as we do or after the IE.
Minimum age:
18
