Here are 5 reasons to keep your skills up to date with an EFR Refresher course:

1. It’s all in the name – As with other skills that we learn in life, if we’re not using them on a regular basis we go “rusty.” It’s perfectly normal to forget some details or the sequence when you’re not in the habit of practicing them frequently. The scene of an accident isn’t really the place you want to be when you realize you can’t quite remember what you learned in your training.
2. Confidence – when you finished your training you probably felt quite confident in your abilities. As time passed, chances are your confidence has faded a bit. If that’s the case it’s time to refresh. Being confident in your abilities both as a caregiver and as someone who can take control will make you more valuable in an emergency. With confidence comes the ability to stop, breathe, think clearly and act accordingly. Remember that the corner stone of  training is creating the confidence to care.
3. Stay up to date – techniques and technologies change. When you take your refresher course you’ll learn what has been implemented since your initial training or your last refresher.
4. Fun – the Refresher course deals with serious issues but it can also be a lot of fun and the second time around is always easier!
5. Life saving – The difference between being able to give immediate care and delaying giving care because you are unsure of what to do could mean the difference between a temporary or long term disability and by acting fast and having the confidence to care you could save a life
