The course runs for approximately 3 hours and is completed in a single session — no online pre-learning required. Assessment is competency-based, ensuring you leave not only certified but also confident in your ability to respond to a real-life emergency.
Certification is issued on the same day, allowing you to meet workplace compliance requirements immediately.
