Entry requirements
There are no formal entry requirements. You will need to be physically able to perform uninterrupted CPR on a manikin placed on the floor — a requirement set by the unit and the ARC guidelines. Pre-course reading or online theory may be issued before your session.
Delivery & assessment
Delivered face-to-face in a single session. Assessment is by practical demonstration of CPR on an adult and infant manikin, plus written or oral questioning. You must demonstrate competency to be issued a Statement of Attainment.
