They will also learn all other skills necessary to become an Instructor of the Cardiac First Response standard. Candidates reporting should be CFR certified prior to the commencement of the course as the focus will be on instruction of the standard. This course is a pre requisite for those looking to teach at FAR, EFR, EMT and Paramedic levels

Training Methods:

• Classroom presentation on multimedia projector / DVD’s
• Practical demonstrations of techniques
• Course handouts, training manuals, training records and evaluation forms are also provided.

Assessment & Certification:

Cardiac First Response Instructor students are required to successfully complete the practical assessments for Response level and a twenty five question MCQ for Practitioner level. 80% is required to be successful on the MCQ. Competence in teaching skills demonstration is also required. The theory and practical assessments are set by the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council.
Certification as a Cardiac First Responder Instructor Standard is required every two years. In order to maintain a readiness to perform CPR and AED interventions effectively the standard interval accepted for retention training is one year after the initial certification. However, as the retention of skills in CPR and the use of AED are known to rapidly diminish, it is recommended that retention training occurs as frequently as practicable.

Course Attendance:
