This certification represents an ESA O/W Instructor that received specific ESA training concerning medic first aid and CPR techniques and can therefore train recreational divers in this field.
Renewed ESA First Aid Instructors can promote, conduct and require license ratification concerning ESA First Aid certification. It is possible to enroll an ESA First Aid Instructor Program after attending the ESA Instructor Course, but in this case only getting through the Instructor Evaluation and being qualified as ESA Open Water Instructor will allow obtaining the ESA First Aid certification.
Prerequisites to enroll ESA First Aid Instructor course:
Be a renewed ESA Diveleader, ESA Assistant Instructor or higher ESA Instructor level or Be officially enrolled in ESA Instructor Course or ESA Qualifying Program - the ESA First Aid Instructor Card will be released after the positive participation to an ESA Instructor Evaluation. ESA Instructor that already has a First Aid Instructor Certification, delivered by another training agency, may directly require the ESA First Aid Instructor Card by filling out, signing and send to ESA Office the “ESA First Aid Instructor Entry Form”.
