Our Approach to Training and Certification
Learning by doing is way more effective than learning by reading or engaging in online training. In a typical emergency, first aiders are at times required to make instant decisions. And as you know, timely delivery can mean the difference between life or death when it comes first aid training.
In order to prepare the first aiders for any situation that comes up in their environment,whether it be on the beach in heavy surf or a the local downhill mountain trail, simulation exercises are critical in achieving this aim.
In simulation training, first aiders are encouraged to experiment and take risks by trying out alternative courses of action. This lets them experience different outcomes, helping them understand the correct way to do things in an emergency. This experimentation also allows first aiders to use various types non traditional medical supplies.
This type of training involves building a story around the concept and allowing the learners to apply their knowledge to proceed further with the course.
