*Some delegates might find the course to be physically demanding therefore a 15 minute break is allocated during the course however delegates can opt out of this if they are comfortable in doing so. There is also a 30 minute practical reassessment time allocated to the end of the session in the event a delegate does not demonstrate the required standard. Most delegates do not need to utilise the 30 minute timeframe however it is there if required.
