We have developed online learning resources for this course to make your learning much easier. You will be allocated a tablet for use during class time which means you don’t have to hand write everything! During the enrolment process we can discuss any support that may be required.

Assessment

Assessment includes knowledge questions (completed online for eLearn), practical and scenario-based assessment completed in the F2F sessions.

Assessment requires students to demonstrate the ability to correctly perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor. If you have a limitation that would affect your ability to complete the course, please call us to discuss prior to booking.
