LEARN BY SIM - some things just can't be taught from books and lectures.

"I believe in the concept of the teachable moment.  There are times in our lives when we learn best.  And, not necessarily during a simulation, but in the debrief afterwards."

Although we aim to make our scenarios interesting and fun, there is no doubt in my mind that because of the immersive nature of the scenarios, and the fact that we don't all face emergencies every day in our workplace, that most participants will feel a little stressed.  A small amount of stress is a good thing. It means the things we learn straight after will stick in our minds for a long long time.  Too much stress paralyzes the brain and is detrimental to learning.  This is why we actually give you information in the form of pre-reading and online learning modules, and go over the scenario in a pre-brief prior to the simulation.  In the de-brief we have an interactive discussion.

If this isn't challenging enough for you we do run advanced modules.
