STCW Elementary First Aid - EFA
“Excellent depth of knowledge from Mo the instructor, very well delivered one of the best first aid courses I have been on.”
INTRODUCTION
This 1 day course is a good mixture of theory and practical sessions covering basic first aid and Basic Life Support skills.
Unlike many training centres, PHSS has a resuscitation manikin, the Laerdal QCPR Manikin. With a digital read out, this will assist you delivering Quality CPR. You will improve your compression and rescue breathing percentage, and evaluate your progress during the course. This is a superb training aid to saving life. You will be surprised by the results, with the live feedback available, compared to how you think CPR should be done. By improving the CPR quality, we can ensure more lives are saved.
You will develop knowledge, understanding and practical competence where appropriate in:
- Taking immediate action upon encountering an accident or other medical emergency

- Adult basic life support and resuscitation techniques
