Answer 1

I took it a few years ago, I can't remember when, but I think 2005.

What happened in ours was that first we did the theory bit.

We all sat in a circle with the other people and the teacher/assessor.

She then asked questions on different parts of the syllabus. Then she made up some examples of situations and asked us how we would deal with them.

Speak up in this part as the examiner will get a good impression of you.

Then we did the practical bit in the water.

We were asked to do some of the skills we had learned, and I remember doing the time swim then tow thing with an item of clothing.

I don't remember but it's likely we also did:

rope throws

tows

group situation practices (finding priorities etc)

and some other bits.

We also did practicals for the life support bit e.g. CPR

I think that's it.

Just do your best, it will be fine!
