Content

The recertification course commences with an update on any new Resuscitation Science and then goes straight into summative and formative assessments as listed below. Each skill station starts with a demonstration of the required standard by the instructor, a short practice/tutorial period followed by assessment.

Assessment

The mastery style of assessment is the form of assessment predominantly utilised during the course. Through using this style, specific targets are set and participants are required to meet these during the programme. Participants may pass each target on their first attempt, or require several efforts to reach the required standards.
