Response ‘Primary and Secondary Care’ Instructors are also qualified to
train the EFR ‘Care for Children’ program. In recent years the
demand for trained providers in CPR/1st Aid skills has increased
dramatically and now most employers require a number of staff to be
trained as CPR/1st aid providers, from a social consideration, market

member of the family is or wants to be trained in CPR/1st Aid
training. The ‘Care for Children’ program compliments the EFR
