Delivery, assessment and certification.
Recorded in Eduforce material
Recorded on the Eduforce FirstAidCPR page as “International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) Training”. That page describes the ITLS course format in general terms — a one- or two-day workshop with skill and assessment stations, and a certification period of two to four years. Those are descriptions of the ITLS course itself, not a statement of Eduforce's own schedule, assessment or certificate, so they are not presented as such here.
Confirmed on enquiry
Duration, assessment method and the certificate issued vary by programme, and are set out in the written confirmation issued for your engagement. Contact our team for the current details for this programme, including any validity period that applies.
Certification information
International Trauma Life Support is an external certifying organisation. Neither the source page nor Eduforce's credentials material records Eduforce as an ITLS training centre, chapter or affiliate, and no such status is claimed here. Who certifies, and on what terms, is confirmed on enquiry.
Programme naming
Programme names vary between organisations and standards. If you are looking for a particular programme title, our team will confirm what this programme covers and how it matches your requirement.
