First Aid and Medical Emergencies
Assess a sick passenger using a structured primary and secondary survey and record findings on the appropriate documentation
Describe the recognition and initial management of the most common in-flight medical events, including fainting, chest pain, asthma, allergic reaction, seizure and choking
Explain the use and limitations of the on-board medical kit, oxygen, automated external defibrillator and first aid oxygen
Describe the process for requesting ground medical advice and for diverting an aircraft for a medical emergency
Your checkpoint
A completed in-flight medical emergency report for two written scenarios, each with an assessment, treatment sequence and decision on ground support, reviewed against a checklist of required elements

Outline the requirements for crew records, training validity and reporting obligations after an incident
Your checkpoint
A one-page summary table mapping each regulatory requirement to the responsible body and the crew action, with a 20-question quiz scoring at least 85%
Crew Resource Management and Human Factors & Passenger Handling and Service Standards
Explain the core CRM concepts: communication, leadership and follow-up, situational awareness, workload management, decision making and team briefing
Identify human factors that degrade performance such as fatigue, stress, complacency and authority gradient, and describe mitigations
Describe service standards and passenger handling expectations across boarding, in-flight and disembarkation for different passenger types
Explain how to manage service recovery and complaints while preserving safety priorities
Your checkpoint
A written analysis of two CRM case scenarios identifying the human factors, the breakdown point and the corrective behaviours, plus a service standards checklist covering at least 15 touchpoints
Aviation Safety and Emergency Procedures & First Aid and Medical Emergencies & Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Materials & Aviation Security and Unruly Passenger Management & Survival, Firefighting and Evacuation Drills
Consolidate all ten domains through spaced review, prioritising the two lowest-scoring areas from earlier weeks
Complete at least three timed full-length practice papers under exam conditions and review every incorrect answer
Rehearse the practical elements mentally and verbally: evacuation commands, brace, door operation and first aid sequence
Build a final one-page recall sheet of critical numbers, commands and procedures
Your checkpoint
Three timed practice papers with scores recorded, a corrected error log covering every missed question, and a final one-page recall sheet reviewed from memory
