The training and exam are identical for all three levels.

Procedure

The training begins with a self-study phase. During this phase, participants must acquire the necessary knowledge independently with the help of our learning programme. In a six-week phase prior to the exam week, a 2-2.5-hour web seminar is held once a week to clarify any open questions and to check the participants' learning progress. The webinars take place in the evenings between 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Participants prepare practice questions, which are discussed during the seminars.
The learning effort per week starting from the first web seminar is approximately 10–15 hours per week.
During the classroom phase, theoretical lectures take place on Tuesday. The practical training takes place on Wednesday. Here, the practical content is taught. No PPE is required.
On Thursday, the practical exam takes place either from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
