Knowledge Assessment
Your theoretical understanding will be evaluated through a comprehensive final examination featuring both multiple-choice and open-ended questions.
This written assessment covers all key topics taught during the course, from CPR procedures and choking management to treating minor injuries and using AEDs.
The examination ensures you have retained the critical knowledge needed to make informed, life-saving decisions during workplace emergencies.
