An 80% passing score will be required to advance to subsequent segments and to claim credit for the corresponding learning activity. There will be unlimited attempts for post course assessment. The course contains materials and clinical skills that are for theory and demonstration purposes only and does not enable the learner to claim competency and skills in the subject. Due to accreditation requirements and to cater to a diverse global audience with varying geographical, colloquial, and cultural backgrounds, certain designations, terminologies, and definitions used in this course, especially regarding medical procedures, clinical equipment, and regulations, may slightly differ from local conventions. In some cases, we have opted for descriptive language in place of commercial terms to ensure better understanding among all learners. This approach aims to enhance clarity and accessibility for a broader audience.
