Refresher Course for Basic First Aid (EFR)

Course Outline

(Delivery time: online modules are self-paced. Practicals are approximately 1 hour)

First aid is the emergency care and treatment of a sick or injured person before professional
medical services are obtained. It is not meant to replace medical diagnosis and treatment.
In contrary to misconceptions, first aid is temporary support until professional medical
assistance is available.
