Knowing how to respond during a medical emergency can make a significant difference while waiting for professional help to arrive. This internationally recognised Emergency First Response course teaches practical first aid and CPR skills in a supportive environment, helping participants develop the confidence to assist others when it matters most.
Rather than focusing on diving skills, this course concentrates on emergency care techniques that can be applied in everyday situations. Training is delivered through a combination of self-study materials, instructor-led sessions, demonstrations, and practical exercises designed to build confidence and familiarity with emergency response procedures.
During the Primary Care section, participants learn how to respond to life-threatening situations. Topics include CPR, managing unconscious patients, severe bleeding control, shock recognition, spinal injury awareness, and ongoing patient monitoring. Practical exercises allow participants to practise these techniques repeatedly in a relaxed learning environment.
The Secondary Care section introduces first aid procedures for injuries and illnesses that may not be immediately life-threatening but still require attention. You'll learn how to assess a situation, reduce discomfort, minimise further injury, apply bandages, and assist casualties until professional medical support becomes available. By the end of the course, participants leave with practical skills that can be applied both within diving environments and everyday life.
Based on Mallorca's southwest coast, Santa Ponça provides a convenient and accessible setting for training courses throughout the year. Modern teaching facilities and dedicated learning spaces allow participants to focus on developing new skills in a comfortable environment.
Outside the classroom, the area offers beaches, cafés, restaurants, and coastal walks, making it a pleasant destination for visitors combining training with time on the island. Its location also provides easy access from many of Mallorca's popular holiday resorts.
No previous first aid, CPR, or diving experience is required to join the course. The programme is suitable for complete beginners as well as divers seeking to meet certification requirements for further training.
Participants should be willing to take part in practical exercises and simulated emergency scenarios as part of the learning process.
Responding effectively during an emergency requires more than simply memorising procedures. The training focuses on developing confidence through hands-on practice, helping participants feel comfortable applying their skills in real-world situations.
Experienced instructors, recognised training standards, and practical teaching methods create an engaging learning environment.
