How the 10 learning hours are justified
The displayed hours are no longer justified by opening a page or reading a brief overview. Every minute is allocated to a defined learning activity and must produce evidence of active participation. The complete module allocations total 10 h, exactly matching the course nominal learning hours. Supervised practice is recorded separately and cannot be replaced by video or written questions.

Non-negotiable evidence rule
Passive screen time, an opened browser tab, skipped media or generic answers do not establish learning hours. The record must show source use, active responses, applied reasoning, feedback and correction. Critical safety questions require a satisfactory answer and cannot be averaged out.
Status and authority
This is a certifier-ready Smiling Monad internal learner and assessment package for formal review. It may be used for non-accredited provider training, vocational preparation and participant-specific induction. Authoritative external videos and eLearning are linked and assessed, but they are not falsely represented as Smiling Monad-owned or automatically accredited. A nationally recognised result, licence or clinical authorisation may only be issued through the responsible authorised body after its own approval, delivery and assessment requirements are met.

Observable outcomes
- Explain the requirements for participant-specific injection competence.
- Prepare for separate device and procedure training.
Core teaching propositions
Injection support requires current written directions, the correct medicine and device, participant-specific training, observed competence and emergency arrangements.
A worker does not calculate or alter a dose unless separately qualified, authorised and explicitly required by the plan.
General course simulation may use inert demonstration devices but does not authorise real injection.

- 02.Every video-linked response must identify the assigned source and cite a timestamp or transcript section. Unsupported generic answers are returned for further evidence.
- 03.Learners must achieve at least 80 percent across non-critical knowledge items and 100 percent on critical safety questions.
- 04.A critical unsafe answer triggers targeted relearning and a new attempt. It cannot be averaged out by stronger answers elsewhere.
- 05.Written and video learning never replace direct practical observation where the course assessment requires performance.
- 06.Media and external eLearning remain the intellectual property of their providers and are linked, not copied. The exact item, version and access date are recorded.
- 07.The human assessor or certifier confirms source currency, accessibility, answer-key adequacy, assessment validity and any nationally recognised or clinical authority claim.
