Background to the EFR: Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) with AED Course

The course is split into a number of sections

1. Primary Care - This teaches participants how to respond to life-threatening emergencies.
2. Secondary Care - This section covers injuries or illnesses that are not immediately life-threatening.
3. Knowledge Reviews
4. Multi-choice final exam

The Primary and Secondary care sections are undertaken by a combination of classroom teaching with lots and lots of practical practise to allow you the student time to become comfortable with the skill.
