You know what to do in case of an emergency. You’ve had plenty of training and are aware that sometimes things can happen. This is why you learned Emergency First Response and became a Rescue Diver. You like to know that if something does happen you can assist and possibly save a life. If anything, you can keep a small situation from becoming worse. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone knew first aid and CPR? Now they can…and you can teach them! Well, maybe not all of them. However, by becoming an Emergency First Response Instructor you can begin to pass on those lifesaving skills to others.

How Your Emergency First Response Instructor Course Works

The Emergency First Response Instructor course has many parts that encompass adult, child and infant CPR and first aid skills, and incorporate Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) training and emergency oxygen use. During your course you will build on your skills as an Emergency Responder and focus on developing your instructional abilities to teach these skills to others.

As an EFR Instructor you can be part of the critical training and change the lives of the people you train as well as the people they may come in contact with in an emergency.

The EFR training course is needed much more than the training we usually see at Lone Star Scuba for Rescue Divers. Companies, businesses, municipalities and schools need this training. As an Emergency First Response Instructor you will have the ability to teach these essential skills to anyone. Yes, you can even teach it to divers!
