The new Virtual Assessment course options are facilitated using basic technology and the widely available online video meeting program: 'Microsoft Teams'. Candidates do not need to download specific software as our Virtual Classrooms can easily run from the device's browser.
Candidates will simply need a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera that can be physically secured for the duration of the assessment. With these requirements met, our qualified assessors can confidently observe and assess all practical skills performed by the candidate.
Course Description
As with all other CPR and First Aid training courses offered by Royal Life Saving, the Virtual Classroom options cover the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines. This unit applies to all workers who may be required to provide CPR in a range of situations‚ include education, aquatic leisure, and a myriad of other workplace settings.
Using Virtual Classrooms as part of the overall Training and Assessment delivery model allows candidates to complete the theoretical topics and assessments for their course via the Royal Life Saving E-learning Portal, and then participate in an online assessment workshop, where practical assessments will be conducted. All online learning is completed prior to attending the Virtual Classroom assessment workshop.
All candidates are required to successfully complete a range of practical assessments.
