Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRI)

The Emergency First Response Instructor Course provides qualified individuals with the additional training necessary to teach the four courses - Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid), CPR & AED, and Care for Children. This course builds on the instructor candidates’ skills as primary and secondary care providers and focuses on developing their instructional abilities. Through independent study, classroom sessions and practice teaching assignments, instructor candidates learn to conduct the Emergency First Response courses.

The Emergency First Responder Instructor Course is designed to prepare PADI professionals (DM and above) to teach this comprehensive course to the general public. All Emergency First Response courses follow the emergency considerations and protocols as developed by the members of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Members include American Heart Association (AHA), European Resuscitation Council (ERC), Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC), New Zealand Resuscitation Council (NZRC), Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (HSFC), Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa (RCSA), Inter American Heart Foundation (IAHF), Resuscitation Council of Asia (RCA – current members include Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan).

Popular Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.
  • Why should I take the EFR Instructor class?

    As a Divemaster, this gives you more opportunities to teach class.  If you want to become an instructor, this class is a requirement.

  • Will I be able to teach at Scubaland?

    We do not guarantee employment as an Instructor on completion of your class.  However, most of our Instructor candidates are already working for us as Divemasters and if we didn't want you as an Instructor we probably wouldn't accept you into the program in the first place.  Our goal is to train Instructors that will excel as PADI and Scubaland Instructors for many years to come.

  • How long is the class?

    This class generally takes a couple evenings but will depend on how many students are in the class.
