Today I had the fun task of teaching the EFR Primary and Secondary Care course. Normally the course is divided into two parts, first is independent study which the student reviews the course work and video at home. Then we do skill development, knowledge reviews and testing. Due to the students time constraints we did the whole course together. Made for a long day, but it was fun. Serious subject matter - keep the training light, engaging and lots of hands on and the time flys by.
We covered Primary Care, the ABCDS of the Life Line and practice the skills needed to assist someone is trouble. We worked with an AED and its proper use.
With Secondary Care we covered how to assess a persons condition who is in need and how to administer basic first aid; you know bandages, splits, take a pulse, that stuff.
Congratulations to Mike, Nery, Eric, Manuel and Gerson on completing the course. Great Job!
