The integrated First Aid course includes in-person lectures with mandatory attendance to participate in practical exercises and group projects. Students must have attended at least 67% of the total lessons of each integrated course in order to be eligible to take the exam. Active participation allows students to consolidate theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills in management and emergency handling.

The ongoing assessment aims to monitor the student’s progressive learning and to promote the conscious acquisition of the theoretical and practical skills required by the module. To pass the final examination, the student must achieve a grade of not less than 18/30. To obtain a grade of 30/30 with honors, the student must demonstrate an excellent and comprehensive understanding of all topics covered during the course, showing the ability to connect them in a logical and coherent manner.
