Objective: Develop the knowledge and practical skills required to understand Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) and apply ERP principles in commercial diving settings.
Knowledge: Explain what makes an ERP successful, the three ERPs used in commercial diving, and the seven barriers that can prevent effective emergency response.
Skills: Demonstrate ERP application by identifying effective plan characteristics and selecting correct ERP actions in scenario-based planning tasks.

Objective: Develop the knowledge and practical skills required to implement a DMERP and respond effectively to diving medical emergencies in commercial diving operations.
Knowledge: Explain legislation and compliance requirements, key terminology, emergency types in air diving, ERP components, rescue drills, chain of survival procedures, emergency equipment requirements, safe entry and exit procedures, roles and responsibilities, and rescue diver actions.
Skills: Demonstrate emergency response competence by applying DMERP procedures, role responsibilities, hazard controls, and correct rescue decision-making to scenario-based activities.

Objective: Develop and confirm DMERP competence through a structured practice assessment covering emergency planning and response principles.
Knowledge: Explain DMERP components, ERP principles, emergency equipment requirements, chain of survival actions, and role responsibilities through practice assessment questions.
Skills: Demonstrate applied DMERP decision-making competence by selecting correct responses to scenario-based practice test questions.

Objective: Demonstrate competence in DMERP knowledge and applied emergency response decision-making through a final summative assessment.
Knowledge: Explain emergency planning principles, legislative responsibilities, DMERP components, equipment requirements, chain of survival actions, and rescue roles through final assessment questions.
Skills: Demonstrate applied emergency response competence by answering scenario-based final exam questions and selecting correct actions aligned to commercial diving safety standards.
