Emergency First Response

These courses are NOT just for scuba divers

All our first aid training programmes are approved by the Health & Safety Executive and applicable to all situations where persons are in need of assistance.

Professional Credibility

Our Instructors have been members of the emergency services and have extensive experience in actually treating casualties at the scene of serious incidents. They have also successfully competed in National First Aid Competitions involving simulated accidents and emergencies.

We have delivered EFR training to several large organisations and have trained hundreds of police officers throughout the North of England - ensuring that members of the public benefit from the rescue skills of the emergency services.
