Competency Based Training (CBT) Approach

We do not solely train our participants on theory (Knowledge), at the same time we also emphasize on practical (Skill), and most importantly, we promote the true value of Good Samaritan and motivate the participants to render help voluntarily without any hesitation.

In other words, we believe in Skills, Knowledge AND Attitude

Assessments

Participants are required to sit for theory and practical assessment, which includes multiple-choice questions, skill demonstrations and mock-drill (scenario based), 80% of attendance is the prerequisite for the said assessment.

Certification

Having completed and passed the course, participants will be awarded with Certificate of Proficiency and Course Completion Card which are both nationally and internationally recognized.

Delivery of Certificate

Certificate will be delivered to the client’s correspondence address within 21 working days after completion of the course. Special arrangement for fast delivery can be made upon request.

Validity

Both Certificate of Proficiency and Course Completion Card are only valid for 2 years from the date of examination, thereafter the participants need to undergo refresher training for re-certification purpose.

The Training Highlights – Lifelike Mock-drill

After going through all the theory and practical sessions, participants will be exposed to a few lifelike mock-drill sessions (scenario based) which are created by a team of professional casualty make-up artists where multiple injuries will be seen such as bleeding, amputation, penetrating wound, fracture, burn, scald and spine injuries.

Participants will be required to perform first aid treatment for the injuries and a lot of hands-on experience will be gained throughout the drill.

At the same time, participants will have the opportunity to handle complicated emergency conditions, experience “panic” and finally get to know the strength and weaknesses of oneself.
