Duration - 1-2 days. The aim is for everyone to be fully competent and confident by the end of the course, leaving time in between for you to practice your skills before you need to use them for real. This skill could be considered the most risky by insurers and you will need to demonstrate you have had adequate training. If you already have some experience then 1 day will probably be adequate, however if you are a complete beginner, we would advise taking the 2 day course.
