There are several distinctive specialty courses available for EFR® Instructors to add to their suite of course offerings, including:

  • EFR Manual Handling
  • EFR Mental Health Awareness
  • EFR Airborne Pathogen Awareness

There are two ways to register your participants for these courses:

  1. Non-PADI EFR Instructors purchase EFR Course Completion Authorizations (CCA) through their sales consultant, and send course registrations into their Regional Headquarters. Upon processing, physical completion cards will be issued.
  2. PADI® EFR Instructors may register participants via the PADI Online Processing Center (OLPC 3.0) and eCards will be issued.

EFR Instructors wishing to also issue a wall certificate as evidence of course completion may complete the digital certificate found in the Instructor Materials. The digital certificate requires the student number to be inserted.

Swiss Resuscitation Council Recognizes Emergency First Response

Emergency First Response® has secured further international recognition. The Swiss Resuscitation Council (SRC), a member of the European Resuscitation Council, has recognized the Emergency First Response Primary Care course for the purposes of CPR training within Switzerland. To meet the recognition requirements, EFR Instructors teaching this course in Switzerland must use some additional instructor materials, so please contact [email protected] for more information. PADI Instructors may visit Training Essentials/EFR/Swiss Resuscitation Council Anerkennung page on the PADI Pros’ Site.
