COURSE INFORMATION
This course is for both Full and Refresher participants. The duration cannot be further compressed for Refresher participants.
Previously, the Refresher course (1.5 days) was shorter than the Full course (2 days) due to a shorter duration of time spent on the theory component. As all theory components are done online now via blended learning, both Full and Refresher participants will need to attend the 1-day session together to complete the practical components and assessments.
