TRAINER ACTION

Below is the trainer’s guide in observing the trainees conducting the procedure of this exercise.

1. Check if the right scenarios are loaded and initial conditions are met before commencing the
 assessment.
2. Pause the scenario and conduct the briefing.
3. Give trainee enough time to prepare prior to starting the simulation.
4. Commence the simulationexercise scenario.
5. Monitor the trainees’ progress through the instructor’s console.
6. Remind the trainees of the time left and provide feedback to trainees.
7. Stop the exercise if there is any deviation from normal operation. Inform the trainee of the reason and
give further instruction.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. The successful conclusion of the exercise will rely on how you will provide the necessary
information to the student before simulation start.
2. In the event of simulator malfunction, student has to notify the facilitator and has to pause or stop
theexercise.
