HANDS-ON - This is where you put into action what you have learned; it is where theory is blended into practice; it is where we do what we have read; it is where the rubber meets the road.

CORRECT ACTION - To develop a correct habit that will become automatic requires repetition and experience in various situations. In some instances multimedia is a better way to do this than a traditional classroom. For Example, in a traditional CPR class, how much time does any individual really get with hands-on the plastic manikin? Does a few minutes on plastic help very much when you are faced with a limp human being?

TIME ON TASK - All research shows that people will perform better the time they have practicing a task. But FAFA courses force each student to practice every skill. We guarantee that every student will have much more hands-on practice on FAFA than in any traditional training classroom. You simply cannot pass if you do not perform correctly.

THEORY INTO PRACTICE - In order to link the theory with practice, FAFA has many types of activities where the student must think about a response, perform a physical action which is directly related to the correct knowledge and the correct action. For example, this may be a Drag and Drop Activity, or it may be a scenario where you have to decide what needs to be done. It might be performing compressions on a virtual manikin where the computer is able to calculate your rate, rhythm and accuracy.

OTHER EXAMPLES - Multimedia courses have been very success in teaching competency based skills. Here are a few other areas where virtual training is already well accepted:

• Driving Courses
• Practice for flying commercial jet liners
• Brain surgery
• Giving injections
