Institute of Emergency First Aiders cc

The Institute of Emergency First Aiders (IEFA) is a closed corporation with BBBEE Level 4 status. IEFA was established in 1987 by a member of the Emergency Services who saw, daily, a real and growing need for public knowledge and awareness of how to effectively respond in the event of an emergency.

IEFA’s aim is to provide training and education in emergency first aid according to the highest professional standards in the belief that anyone who has this sound basic knowledge will be able to provide invaluable assistance to the Emergency Medical Services, but more importantly will be able to help to reduce the mortality rate during the first critical minutes following an emergency. Knowing what to do will enable one to cope confidently and effectively when assisting a person in distress.

In 1987 IEFA provided training in First Aid from level 1 to level 3 and in Basic Firefighting. Since then, IEFA has expanded its training to include a range of emergency response training courses most of which address the occupational health and safety requirements outlined by the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993.
