Alongside primary response skills, training includes emergency oxygen use and a comprehensive take on first aid topics tailored to the kinds of incidents encountered around water.

CERTIFICATION

Regionally recognised but flexible

The EFR course is certified within Australia and New Zealand to meet the requirements of many organisations and can be delivered together or individually to suit scheduling and training needs.
