Statutory & Mandatory Training: Resuscitation Level 2 (Newborn) Features
Our Statutory & Mandatory Training: Resuscitation Level 2 (Newborn) has been designed to work on all devices including mobiles, laptops, tablets and desktops giving you the flexibility to complete the training at a time and in a location suitable for you.
With healthcare staff often expected to complete training on an annual basis there will be topics you will be more familiar with than others.

At the end of this resuscitation level 2 (newborn) training course, you will need to complete a test that consists of multiple choice questions. Learners are required to achieve an 80% pass mark, and - if necessary - may attempt the test six times at no extra cost. If learners do not achieve the pass mark, further attempts may be given by contacting our support team.
The online resuscitation level 2 training is fully interactive and is packed with various multimedia forms including video, animation and custom graphics to give you the best learning experience.
Each element of the training is WCAG 2.2 accessible and includes scenarios, contextualised activities, reflective activities, knowledge checks, bite sized lessons and so much more.
