Provider courses

Adult and Child Emergency Care

Learn CPR, AED use and first aid for emergencies involving infants, children and adults. This is the broad emergency-care foundation for everyday life and for divers preparing to meet rescue or public safety course prerequisites. The agency suggests approximately eight training hours, with the actual schedule confirmed before enrollment.

Child Emergency Care

A focused option for people responsible for infants and children. Practice recognizing an emergency, contacting emergency services, CPR, AED use and first aid. The agency suggests approximately six training hours.

Workplace CPR/AED

Develop CPR and AED skills for workplace and community settings. The agency suggests approximately three training hours. Tell us about any employer or role-specific training requirements before enrolling so the proposed course can be checked against them.

Oxygen Administration

Practice emergency oxygen equipment setup and use, emergency assessment and activating emergency medical services. This is oxygen-provider training, separate from CPR/first aid. The agency suggests approximately two training hours.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Learn exposure prevention, protective equipment, handling potentially infectious materials and exposure reporting. The agency suggests approximately two training hours. Workplace procedures remain part of the employer’s training responsibilities.

Frequently asked questions

Is FRTI an SDI or TDI diving certification?

FRTI is First Response Training International. Its emergency-care qualifications are separate from SDI recreational diving, TDI technical training and ERDI public safety diving.

Do I need a scuba certification?

No scuba certification is required for these provider courses. Divers and non-divers can build the same practical emergency-care skills.

Is oxygen administration included in every CPR course?

Oxygen Administration is a separate FRTI provider qualification. Tell us which certifications you need so we can arrange the appropriate program or combination.

Can a provider course qualify me to teach?

Teaching requires completion of the appropriate instructor program and active instructor status. A provider card alone does not qualify its holder to certify students.

Will this meet my employer’s requirements?

Bring the exact requirement before booking. We will review the requested program with you so you can confirm acceptance with the organization that requires it.
