Emergency First Response courses give you the tools you need to perform CPR and First Aid. Whether you're a diver or a non-diver, Emergency First Response prepares you to properly handle potentially life-threatening situations.

This comprehensive programme is composed of two core modules that can be taught in tandem or as stand-alone courses: Emergency First Response - Primary Care and Emergency First Response - Secondary Care. Together, these courses proved extensive instruction in CPR and First Aid, as well as providing Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

The Fun Part

The fun part about Emergency First Response training is learning serious medical emergency response skills in an upbeat, positive environment. You gain the confidence that you are prepared to help in an emergency. We at Sussex Scuba do our best to make things fun and challenging so. as well as a getting to use "Resus Annie", we have a few more surprises to make the course more fun. Don't tell everyone, but it can get a bit messy
