Who should attend this course?
This is a one day fully PHECC certified course usually for those in an occupational setting where a company may not be able to send all of there staff on the 3 Day FAR course. It is also a very rewarding course for members of the public who wish to increase their knowledge to a higher level certification. A cardiac first responder plays a critical role in keeping a person alive until the commencement of expert medical care. CFR Community level is the pre or co-requisite for entry to PHECC’s First Aid Response courses.
