You need to be an Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRI) before PADI will register you as being in Teaching Status as an Instructor. We generally run the EFRI course a few days before the IDC. It takes about 1.5 days.

Videos

Watch the EFR Primary & Secondary Care & Care For Children DVD before attending the EFRI to ensure you are well prepared. This is essential if you have not done an EFR course in the last 24 months, have not done a Care for Children Course, or are crossing over.

We will screen the DVD when you arrive.
