The EDIC I Preparation Course was developed to support candidates in their preparation for the exam with practical examples of exam formats. While the course does not cover critical care content, it focuses on giving you support and getting ready for the exam day. The course includes a live session and a mock exam under real-life conditions, delivered on the actual exam platform.
