Evaluation

All Delegates will be evaluated in accordance with local legislation and Guidelines on the main objectives for sea survival training. 

Working at Height limited practical training exercises are implemented under a “Skills Based Evolution Process” which the student experiences as a layering approach, where by a basic foundation is established and through reaffirmation and confirmation additional practical skills are applied to effectively demonstrate and apply through hands on experiences the complexities of work and rescue at height achieving success through confidence by all who participate.

Reaffirmation through testing is applied with the addition of correction to 100%. This unique philosophy in learning ensures all incorrectly answered test questions are tabled under whole group discussion to ensure maximum retention and understanding by all students.

 All training in conducted in accordance with:

• Health & Safety Authority – Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 – Ireland
