The Emergency First Response® Instructor application is now available online. This digital application streamlines application processes to save time and increase efficiency for both you and your EFR office.
Most beneficial for EFR Instructor Trainers and new EFR Instructor candidates, the application process can begin as soon as someone enrolls in an EFR Instructor course. Currently, applicants must already be PADI Pros™ and have a PADI account to be assigned the application. This will be expanded to non-PADI Members in the future.
The process to apply is simple: The EFR Instructor Trainer assigns the application, and after receiving the request, the EFR Instructor candidate completes their portion. Then, the application goes back to the EFR Instructor Trainer. At the end of the course, the trainer enters the certification details, and the digital application is submitted for payment and processing. Conveniently, the application allows for payment to come from the candidate or Instructor Trainer. The process is mobile responsive, and there are several automated steps built in, which allow for quicker processing.
Like the PADI Divemaster application, you can manage candidate applications via the PADI Pros’ Site, under Student Management/Application Management.
