About the course

This advanced course is designed to build confidence in managing challenging debriefs and enhance facilitators’ ability to tailor their debriefing practice to diverse groups, learner needs, and learning situations.

Participants will revisit key debriefing frameworks and techniques, exploring how these can be adapted to support more complex or sensitive scenarios. The course delves into common challenges, dilemmas, and pitfalls encountered in debriefs, providing practical strategies for addressing them effectively.

Highly interactive and engaging, the session encourages active participation, reflection, and live practice through tailored exercises—enabling facilitators to strengthen and refine their skills in a supportive environment.

Learning objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Build upon existing debriefing skills and models to adapt flexibly to varied debriefing challenges

  • Review and compare different debriefing models used in simulation-based education

  • Tailor debriefs to suit different learners and learning needs

  • Facilitate challenging debriefs with increased confidence

  • Identify and address potential biases during debrief discussions

  • Establish and maintain psychological safety throughout the debriefing process
