Standard First Aid Course: Introduction

Standard First Aid Exam

 

This exam consists of true or false and multiple choice questions. It's not timed (so don't rush) but all questions and answers are randomized each time (just to make sure you're paying attention).

When you're done you will see your statistics and receive your score - 70% or better to pass. Scroll down to review all of your answers and, depending on your status, re-take the exam or get your certification.

Good luck 🙂
