The NVQ Level 3 Award Basic Life Support Management of Anaphylaxis part time course is assessed through a combination of practical assessments and written assignments. The assessment process is designed to ensure that students have a thorough understanding of how to manage anaphylaxis and provide basic life support in emergency situations.
Below is a breakdown of how the course is assessed:
| Assessment Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Practical Assessments | Students will be required to demonstrate their ability to administer an adrenaline auto-injector, recognize the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and provide basic life support techniques such as CPR. These practical assessments will be observed and evaluated by qualified instructors. |
| Written Assignments | Students will also be required to complete written assignments that test their knowledge of anaphylaxis management, basic life support protocols, and relevant legislation and guidelines. These assignments may include case studies, research projects, and reflective essays. |
| Final Examination | At the end of the course, students will need to sit for a final examination that covers all the topics and skills learned throughout the training. The examination may include multiple-choice questions, short answer questions, and scenario-based assessments. |
It is important for students to actively participate in all aspects of the course, as successful completion of both the practical assessments and written assignments is necessary to achieve the NVQ Level 3 Award Basic Life Support Management of Anaphylaxis qualification.
By combining hands-on practical experience with theoretical knowledge, this part-time course ensures that students are well-prepared to respond effectively to anaphylaxis emergencies and provide life-saving support when needed.
