Day 1: Exploration of the topic through a simulation exercise
The simulation exercise is set in a station environment as it is relatively universal and relatable by all. The programme content and assets have been created and consist of video, audio and paper-based documentation materials.
Day 2: This involves learning input and self-reflective activities to develop and practice the non-technical skills required to support the achievement of effective level 1 assurance approach and practices.
