Why Self Directed Learning

Learning and retaining lifesaving skills requires repetitive practice and staying updated on best evidence medical care. Participating in traditional instructor-led courses is however time-consuming and logistically challenging for most learners.

Self Directed Learning programs from Laerdal provide more flexibility in the sense that learners are free to choose when and where to engage in learning. Without logistical constraints, the learners have a greater opportunity to perform the desired “low dosage – high volume” training routine that better enables high competence levels at all times.
