The day will be split into teaching and assessment with an end point assessment completed via a written multiple-choice exam.

There are no formal entry requirements; however, you will need to pass an assessment before the course starts. We will need to assure ourselves that learners, are physically capable of completing the practical assessment. It is a governing body requirement that you must be able to kneel to perform CPR and this is covered with the disability act.
