Instructor Continuing Education

The comprehensive list of courses available at the Emperor Scuba Schools is shown below:

Emergency First Response Instructor
Since the Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care and Care for Children Instructor Training courses have been combined, this course is now a two-day course. It teaches candidates to organize, conduct and market the EFR and EFR Care for Children courses and focuses on practice, demonstrations and teaching methods. The only prerequisite is that you have completed the EFR and Care for Children courses (or another recognized course) within the last 2 years.
If you are already EFR Instructor, you can expand your rating to include Care for Children by taking the one-day Care for Children Instructor Training course. Current CPR/First Aid Instructors from other emergency care organizations may qualify for the EFR Instructor Crossover programme. Please contact us for details.
