Practical exercises also form part of the assessment process and candidates will be expected to demonstrate competency in the techniques taught.

Candidates will need to be able to demonstrate on other candidates in a range of positions including standing, sitting and on the floor at ground level!

It should be noted that the HSE and the resuscitation council strongly recommend that all students undergo an annual refresher programme of three hours. (put link into that page)

A three-year qualification will be issued to those who satisfy the criteria.
