Assessment info

There are eight (8) assessment components for REST that are essential to pass in order to satisfactorily complete the course.

The eight assessment components are:

• Pre-course quiz
• Basic life support
• Safe use of Defibrillator
• Basic airway management
• Advanced Life Support
• Cervical spine immobilisation
• Post MCQ
• Final assessment scenario.
Additional info

It is mandatory that participants be present for the entire duration of the REST course on both days (8am to 5pm local time). Therefore it is highly recommended for interstate travellers to arrive at the course location at least one day prior to the commencement of the course.

If for any unexpected reason a participant arrives after the course has commenced and missed the ‘Structured Approach’ and ‘Basic Life Support’ lectures, their place in the course will be forfeited. The participant will be required to re-book and this may also incur additional charges.
