About Us
The Institute of Emergency First Aiders was established in 1987 by a member of the emergency services who saw, on a daily basis, a real and growing need for public education in emergency first aid procedures.
Since then IEFA has grown to offer training in first aid, fire emergencies, breathing apparatus and hazardous materials awareness to commerce and industry, sports organizations, schools, and general welfare organizations.
