ALS Instructor (ALSi) Recertification Program

A Program for Recertification of currently accredited ALS Facilitators

 

Please Note; This program is only available to a currently accredited ALS Facilitators. Where accreditation has lapsed completion of the ALS Instructor Training Program will be required.

Course Structure

The ALS Instructor Recertification Program is delivered in two stages comprising:

  • Pre-workshop Tutorial: The tutorial will enable feedback to the facilitator in regard to the planning, preparation and program structure for an ALS workshop and discussion of approaches to a range of common challenges to the delivery of a workshop. The tutorial discusses the video submission of the WBAs.

  • Work Based Assessment: Three Work based Assessments (WBAs) are completed in the three key areas of small group discussion, procedural skills and clinical simulation. The WBAs are completed using a video of the teaching session and constructive feedback is provided to the ALSi. The WBAs are undertaken in the setting of an approved skills/simulation workshop and reviewed by an accredited observer using a structured assessment tool. 

Recertification is provided for a period of two years.

Course Learning Outcomes

At the completion of the re-accreditation process the learner should be able to demonstrate:

  1. The application of teaching behaviours and attitudes that incorporate adult learning principles and promote learner centred clinical teaching.

  2. The delivery of white board presentations that demonstrate structure, relevance and the engagement of learners.

  3. The teaching procedural skills that take into consideration the environment, time constraints, learners needs and background, equipment and assessment of learning.

  4. The creation of immersive simulation experiences for learners that are realistic, appropriate to the learner's level of skill/knowledge, take account of learner safety and recognise the critical role of debrief in maximising learning and reflection.

  5. Their capacity as self-reflective educators that actively seek to continue to learn, develop their skills and draw on observer feedback to continually develop their teaching practice.
