Purpose

ProTrainings Europe skill evaluation certification provides individuals with the skills, tools and knowledge to successfully evaluate student’s CPR and First Aid skills. Upon successful completion, Evaluators can sign student certificates according to their level of training. It is important to remember that the skill evaluator role is to evaluate skills learnt on a ProTrainings video online course and not to instruct. The rating does not allow the evaluator to instructor any of our programs unless qualified and approved.

• Course DesignPre-‐requisite:
