First Aid Training In Phuket is just the same as anywhere else in the world. The Emergency First Response Course follows international standards so is valid globally. You don’t have to be a diver to take this course, it’s an extremely useful skill in all walks of life. Hotels and large companies should all have their fair share of willing responders. If you’re in Phuket then we’re more than willing to come to your organisation and let our professional instructors teach your staff valuable life skills.

What Will I learn?

Participants will learn simple to follow steps to responding and applying skills in an emergency situation. It’s not easy to step forward in emergency situations so hopefully this course will give you the confidence and willingness to do so. You will guided by our instructors in a non-stressful environment with the help of videos, manuals and staged emergency scenarios.

During your first aid training you will focus on three key areas:

Primary Care
This section teaches techniques and procedures for dealing with life threatening emergencies. Eight skills will be practised, beginning with assessment and treatment through to monitoring the patient until emergency medical professionals arrive. Aiding patients who have no heartbeat, aren’t breathing, in shock, serious bleeding or may have spinal injuries will all be covered. Your intervention could give them the best possible chance of survival.

Secondary Care
Accessing a number of non life threatening injuries. Basic first aid to keep the victim comfortable, reduce the risk of further injuries and bandaging and splinting. It may be just a case of talking and reassuring the patient until help arrives but still a vital skill. All will be practised in the classroom.

AED (automated external defibrillator) are more common in workplace environments nowadays but would you know how to use it? This section teaches you how to safely operate the AED and potentially save a life. A very simple but vital piece of equipment that every large workplace should have.

Integrating With PADI Rescue Diver
