Our Story
The public health and safety guidelines in Thailand have improved tremendously since we started teaching first aid courses in Phuket around 15 years ago. Our CPR certificates predominantly served to meet the prerequisites for rescue divers and dive leaders in the scuba industry. PADI scuba training organization recommends its affiliate company Emergency First Response for all life-saving courses.
We attained the coveted PADI Master Scuba Instructor award in 2004 followed by the EFR Instructor Trainer rating in 2006. This advancement allows us to conduct courses and certify first aid students up to instructor level – often called train the trainer program.
In 2009 we experimented with a new first aid website totally independent of scuba diving. We dedicated this simple site to customers searching the internet for flexible convenient training resulting in an international CPR and first aid certificate. The response was incredible. We underestimated how much demand there is for emergency medical one-day training classes in Thailand. Learn more about the current Good Samaritan Laws and legal responsibilities in Thailand.
We Love What We Do and We Do What We Love!
The goal of our English and Thai AED CPR First Aid trainers is to deliver realistic and rewarding training experience in a friendly and low-stress environment. we believe people learn best when they are relaxed and having fun. Our Emergency First Response mission: "Empowering people to Save Lives" is fulfilled when we produce confident layperson responders who are willing to handle life’s unfortunate challenges and medical emergencies.
