 Learners are assessed continuously throughout the course through practical demonstrations and instructor observation and questioning.  

Upon successful completion, participants will receive an Emergency Paediatric First Aid certificate, which is valid for three years. 

Annual refresher training is recommended to maintain knowledge and confidence.  After three years, learners must retake the full course to renew their qualification.
