EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE INSTRUCTOR
Your Instructor at Aquanaut actually runs a First Aid Training business so has hands on experience of what
it is really like teaching the courses. This means you will receive practical hands on tips to make your
courses more enjoyable, more successful and ultimately prepare you to answer the unexpected questions
posed by students!
During the Emergency First Response Instructor course, you will build on your skill as an Emergency
Responder and focus on developing your instructional abilities to teach these skills to others. The Instructor
course provides you with the additional training necessary to teach the Emergency First Response Primary
Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid) and Care for Children courses. (Region-specific courses including
First Aid at Work Asia Pacific and First Aid at Work Great Britain require additional training.) Through a
multi-media approach of independent study, classroom sessions and practical teaching assignments, you
learn to conduct Emergency First Response courses.
The instructor course covers specific goals and performance requirements for the Primary Care, Secondary
Care and Care for Children courses, along with instruction on how to structure learning, the requirements of
performance-based training, and your role as the instructor in the learning environment. You also learn how
to motivate students, evaluate student knowledge, present course content effectively, become proficient in
developing students' hands-on skills practice sessions, and are taught how to present an effective scenariobased
learning experience.
