Participants should hold a valid EFR Primary Care qualification or an excepted CPR qualification from another accredited first aid training provider.
The course is open to anyone over the age of 14.

Participants receive the latest, updated EFR Textbook - arguably the best first aid course manual available! Practical tests are conducted throughout the duration of the course and a final written exam completes student assessment.
