Simulation Education Program
Welcome to Simulation Education Program
This online learning provides the underpinning knowledge you need to know before you attend any of the following courses:
- Technical Simulation Training (TST)
- Fundamentals of Debriefing (FOD)
- Simulation Education Event Design (SEED)
Please note there are no certificates issued for the online learning modules. A Statement of Achievement will be provided once you have attended the face-to-face workshop.

Each module takes approximately 10 – 20 minutes to complete.
Simulation Basics
This module provides an overview of simulation in healthcare. Topics covered include simulation domains and modalities, fidelity, immersion and OH&S considerations when delivering simulation.
Simulation Resources
This module provides an overview of resources that can be used in a simulation event. Topics include types of simulators, venues, audio visual systems and moulage.
Communication
This module explores a range of communication techniques that can be used in simulation. Topics include facilitation strategies, questioning techniques and dealing with challenging participants.
Psychological Safety
This module explores the importance of establishing a psychologically safe environment for participants in simulation events. It explains the stages of establishing a psychologically safe environment through introduction, pre-brief and familiarisation.
Debriefing
This module introduces debriefing and the importance of debriefing in simulation-based education. Topics include preparing for a debrief, debriefing structures and models and understanding participants’ frames.
Education Theory
This module introduces the principles of adult learning and how they can be applied in the design and delivery of simulation education events. Topics include adult learning principles, educational psychology and education models.
Simulation Education Event Design
This module introduces the principles of instructional design and tools for developing a simulation education event. Topics include ADDIE, conducting a training needs analysis, designing an education event, writing scenarios and how to implement and evaluate education events.
Implementation Tools
This module provides ideas and strategies to seek support in implementing simulation education in your facility. Topics include the benefits of simulation, influencing and communicating with stakeholders.
