Assessment
- A 30-minute, 20 question MCQ written examination. The learners must answer 12 correctly to pass the examination (60%). If a learner does not achieve the 12/20 pass rate in the first attempt, the instructor gives them feedback on the areas where they fell short on and advises them that they have one opportunity to repeat the examination at the next available date. We use an alternative exam paper for repeats.
- There are two examination papers; Exam A and B. The use of the exam papers is alternated
Skills Demonstrations
The learners are assessed demonstrating essential first aid skills. These are marked as Pass/Fail. Learners have to pass the skills demonstrations to achieve certification.
Award Procedure
We issue learners who achieve the required pass mark with a joint PHECC/recognised institution First Aid Response card/award certificate. We use the established naming convention provided by PHECC for these awards. Certification lapses after 2 years. A FAR certificate may be used as evidence of successful completion of a CFR course necessary for entry to another recognised course: e.g. CFR instructor (Community only) or EFR. We do not issue CFR Community award certificates.
Certification
Certificate Valid for 2 Years
