Training with Simulations

Training with Simulations

In this workshop, Ted Nee will share his more than twenty years of experience conducting incident simulation training. Through lecture, and demonstration Chief Nee will illustrate best practices for facilitating incident simulation training. Chief Nee will detail the process of deliberate practice, a training methodology that has proven to be the most effective way to rapidly develop non-technical skills such as decision-making and situation awareness. In addition he will cover various methods to deliver simulation training including, in the classroom, in a simulation lab, and remotely over a local area network or the internet.
