PART 1: SIMULATION BASED ASSESSMENT
This is a 30-minute controlled assessment that must be observed by an assessor on a set date.

This will be delivered online via Zoom.
Environment and equipment:
- Learners must have access to a quiet, private space.
- A laptop or desktop computer with a separate mouse and a stable internet connection is required.
