Assessment
This training will utilize continuous assessment methodologies (British Red Cross
methodologies) – there will not be a separate written examination unless otherwise
requested. The trainer shall keep competency assessment records of each participant
throughout the training. Assessment will be based on: (1) attendance and punctuality; (2)
participation in class; and (3) performance competency.
On successful completion of the training, a Standard First Aid certificate will be awarded to
each participant.

 

Attendance
90% attendance is required to meet certification criteria. Due to unavoidable circumstances, if
any participant is unable to meet this requirement, a valid explanation is required. In such
situations, issuing of certificate is based on (2) and (3) of assessment criteria and
recommendation of the trainer.
