License : The EFS website provides a mechanism to obtain a license to use the EFS.

It briefly describes the new design of the EFS, and how to access training materials.

 

A free training course takes 90 min to complete and includes a number of modules, consisting of video and explanatory text, some of which will also be followed by practice activities. At the end of the course there will be a simulation of administering the EFS in a home care setting, to test the new skills acquired. Upon passing the simulation-based assessment, you will earn an EFS Training Certificate.

A licensing fee is required for larger organizations and research enterprises.

However, the license is free for front-line use by single providers and for smaller scale research.
