During the practical phases, and in order to enhance students learning experience, instructors act as mentors and may adapt the scenario difficulty to overall students’ background and skills.instructors act as mentors and may adapt the scenario difficulty to overall students’ background and skills.

Course notes

Instructor-led hands on collective training, supported by a computer assisted exercise (CAX). Students will perform collective hands-on training within the framework of a fictitious but realistic dyssimmetric crisis scenario.
