PADI Emergency First Response Instructor: Your Role in Saving Lives

Becoming an EFR Instructor opens doors to offering courses that equip individuals to respond effectively to emergency situations. What sets EFR courses apart is their emphasis on easy, hands-on learning in a supportive setting. Your students will leave the course with newfound confidence and the skills to assist those in need.

Prerequisites and Benefits of EFR Instructor Certification:

To enroll in the Emergency First Response Instructor course, you must be at least 18 years old and possess Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the last 24 months. While an EFR Instructor rating is a prerequisite for becoming a PADI Instructor, you don’t have to wait until you’re ready to pursue professional scuba instruction. You can complete or refresh your EFR Instructor training during your PADI Instructor training.
