Training forfire-serviceanddisastermanagement New methods
INTRODUCTION OF THE LFKS • 250 courses/year • 6.000 students/year • 95% volunteers • high practical relevance • first fire-academy in Germany using „Blended learning“ in lower command level education • first fire-academy in Germany using Virtual Trainings
Reasonsforvirtualtraining • Possibility to repeat szenarios • Communication Teacher-Student • Security • Realistic representations • Economy • Ecology
APPLICATION IN THE LEADERSHIP EDUCATION • group leader (up to 1+8 staff) • 4 hours • Platoon leader (up to 1+22 staff) • 4 hours • brigade leader (more than 23 staff) • 3 hours
Lessonslearned • full acceptance of the participants • time required is equal to the classical tabletop exercise • brief familiarization with Joystick • training can be carried out by one teacher • existing scenarios (three building, highway) are sufficient for standard fire-service training at the LFKS
MOTIVATION • Recruitment of qualified fire-mates as a new group leader • Revision of the previous course material and teaching methods • Savings in lost wages cost of local authorities • Appreciation of the volunteer fire brigade through innovative course offerings
results • very low rate of discontinuation • students better prepared for practically training • lower failure rate • target group reached
Students FEEDBACK • comprehensive educational texts • learning-enhancing graphics and animations • user-friendly control module • good support by the moderators
teachers FEEDBACK • Graphics and animations are used for their clarity in the classical courses • high level of learning discipline required

Target Group • high level commanders (fire, rescue, distastermanagement), for example: • brigade leaders (fire-service) • chief emergency physicians • medical incident scene officers • dispatch centre personell
MOTIVATION • legal requirements (UVV, StVO, …) • unrealistic representation of time and staff • high preperation time (months) • subjective evaluations (observers) • exemption of the volunteers • Costs (ca. 100.000 € / big realtime drill) • No chance, to remind problems and do the drill again • Scientific conflict in tactical procedures
