Practical skills to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and automated defibrillation before and after a training course based on the European Resuscitation Council standard. Assessment of trainee performance (at the end of the course) using a 13-item, 4-point Likert scale completed by training instructors.

Participant confidence to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) is assessed using two standardized self-administered questionnaires completed before and after the training course. Each questionnaire consists of 11 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Post-course questionnaire items are rephrased and presented in a different order, while retaining their original meaning. Pre- and post-training scores will be compared to evaluate changes in confidence following the course.

The participant's attitude toward performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) is assessed using two standardized self-administered questionnaires, completed before and after the training course. Each questionnaire consists of 17 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Post-course questionnaire items are rephrased and presented in a different order, while retaining their original meaning. Pre- and post-training scores will be compared to evaluate changes in attitude following completion of the course.
