A Simulation Instructor's Handbook: A Practical Guide - 2nd Edition

Includes:

• Use of simulators in maritime education and training
• The role of the simulation instructor
• How to plan and run a simulation exercise
• Assessments and evaluation methods

The use of simulators in adult learning continues to grow in scope and popularity. The effective use of simulation with focused learning objectives offers participants the chance to develop their skills and widen their knowledge in situations that replicate reality within a safe environment.

This updated and expanded handbook, complementary to IMO model course 6.10, is aimed at anyone involved in using simulators in an adult learning environment. It looks at the theory behind adult learning and the use of simulators in training programmes, guiding instructors through setting up, running and evaluating a successful simulation exercise. The handbook’s concise language, illustrative diagrams and helpful checklists make it a must-have publication for any simulation instructor.

As simulation technology evolves with virtual reality, augmented reality, and cloud-based applications, new opportunities and challenges emerge for educators and trainees alike. Join us for a compelling webinar exploring the future of simulation in maritime education and training. The webinar brings together the author of A Simulation Instructor’s Handbook: A practical guide and a panel of experts to discuss the integration of these innovative technologies into operational training, the role of simulation instructors, and the future of maritime simulation.

Featured Speakers:

• Jillian Carson-Jackson FNI – Past President of The Nautical Institute and author of A Simulation Instructor’s Handbook, A Practical Guide
• Captain Anthony Patterson AFNI – Managing Director of Virtual Marine Training and Chair of the International Marine Simulator Forum
• Sander Klaasse – Master Mariner and Product Sales Manager at Wärtsilä Voyage, Europe
• Captain Aly Elsayed AFNI – Former Maritime Simulation Projects Lead and Senior Technical Advisor, The Nautical Institute
• Moderator: Prof. Malek Pourzanjani FNI – Head of Naval Education at MLA College and IMO Lead for the STCW Comprehensive Review, The Nautical Institute

Discussion Topics:

The effectiveness of simulators versus real-life sea experience. Essential skills for simulation instructors and their role in enhancing training. The impact of simulator based training and proposed revisions to the STCW Convention The potential for full mission simulation to reduce sea time requirements for certification. Emerging technologies in simulation and their impact on seafarer training and continuing professional development (CPD). This webinar also marks the launch of the fully revised second edition of A Simulation Instructor’s Handbook: A practical guide offering updated insights and tools for simulator based training.
