Entry requirements
There are no formal entry requirements. As with CPR, you must be physically able to perform uninterrupted CPR on a manikin on the floor. Pre-course online theory and a short knowledge assessment are typically completed before the face-to-face session.
Delivery & assessment
Delivered as a blended program — pre-course online theory followed by face-to-face practical training and assessment — or as a full face-to-face course. Assessment includes practical scenarios, demonstration of CPR, and written or oral questioning. You must demonstrate competency to be issued a Statement of Attainment.
