Judgemental training: decisions that can be reviewed

Judgemental simulation creates an opportunity to examine decisions as well as actions. Realistic scenarios should support assessment, communication and professional judgement within a controlled training environment.

Design around the decision

Nautilus’s judgemental and decision-making training includes simulation technologies such as VirTra. The training requirement should define the audience, relevant situations and learning objectives. Scenarios can then place decisions in context, with instructors setting the conditions and determining how the session develops.

Connect judgement and communication

Training can address threat assessment, de-escalation, communication and response selection. The emphasis should reflect the organisation’s authorised procedures, policies and training standards. Technology provides the scenario environment; specialist instruction gives the session its learning purpose and supports participants in understanding the choices they make.

Make debrief part of the scenario

Agree what will be reviewed before training begins. A useful debrief explores what participants perceived, the information available, the options considered and the effect of communication. Rehearsal can then revisit a learning need with a controlled variation, helping instructors connect the simulation experience to the organisation’s wider training programme.
