Important
Online theory and hands-on practical are different
Online study builds knowledge. Hands-on competence is developed and assessed in supervised practical sessions. Completing online theory alone does not by itself qualify anyone to practise professionally, and requirements for practice vary by country and insurer. This training is educational and is not medical treatment.
