Incident simulation training is a powerful educational tool that is gaining wide acceptance in the fire and emergency services. In this interactive workshop, the instructor shares his more than 20 years of experience designing and developing incident simulation training. Using lecture, demonstration, and group activities, he will illustrate best practices for incorporating incident simulation training in your department and discuss the design and development process for various types of simulations including size-up exercises; timed, multiunit simulations; and testing simulations. Attendees will participate in several types of simulation exercises. Additionally, he will share the tips and tricks he has learned for rapid simulation design and development and identify the pros and cons of various methods for implementing and deploying a simulation training program.
