From theory to practical mastery of situations
Scenario training is a practical method for turning knowledge, plans and procedures into action. The scenarios are developed on the basis of the organisation's risk, vulnerability and threat landscape and are adapted to the participants' day-to-day work. Among other things, participants practise communication, situation assessment, personal safety, raising the alarm and handling demanding situations.
The training follows a controlled progression, in which participants move from theory and demonstration to practising specific elements and then on to realistic scenarios. Afterwards, the situation is evaluated jointly, focusing on what worked, what could have been done differently and which measures influenced the outcome. The scenario can then be run again under improved conditions.
Scenario training can include
- scenarios tailored to the organisation, based on current risks and threats
- practical exercises and role play
- situation assessment and the choice of appropriate measures
- communication and the handling of demanding people and situations
- personal safety, setting boundaries, raising the alarm and withdrawal
- preventive and consequence-reducing measures
- practising internal routines, procedures and action cards
- changing conditions along the way that challenge participants' situational awareness and choice of action
- observation, joint reflection and structured evaluation
- repetition of scenarios to try out and improve alternative courses of action
Competence and experience
Our instructors combine operational experience with teaching expertise. Several have instructor training from the Norwegian Police University College and further education in the pedagogy of supervision and guidance. The team of instructors also has experience of developing and delivering operational training at the Norwegian Police University College.
This gives us a sound basis for developing relevant scenarios and facilitating safe and targeted training.
