Academy
Our program currently consists of 9 modules, each comprising 8 lessons. Six of these lessons are conducted live online, while the remaining 2 are completed independently through self-study. The self-study assignments are designed for reflection and deepening of the learning material. Upon completion of modules 1-6, participants receive the certificate "Basic Qualification in Simulation-based Learning (Instructor)."
Modules 7, 8, and 9 can be taken as advanced modules.
We place special emphasis on providing you with a qualification of the highest standard. Therefore, we align our program with international standards for educators in simulation-based learning. The modules are based on the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice.® (HSSOBP) of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL), the standards of SSH (The Society for Simulation in Healthcare), as well as the ASPE Standards of Best Practice (Association of Standardized Patient Educators).
In many countries, simulation-based learning is already an established part of education, training, and continuing professional development. To meet this standard, it is essential to offer a qualification program at an international level.
Our goal is to prepare you as an instructor to teach effectively in simulated learning environments and to provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to work with simulation modalities and methods. We take into account individual needs and resources. Let simulation-based learning become a positive experience for your learners; we are happy to support you in this!
