3 Hands-On Training and Practice
For the Trainer
The practice session is the student’s opportunity to put theory into practice. This is where
trainers can ensure that students understand and demonstrate competency in handling and
using the Lifeline ARM device in a rescue scenario.
Setting Up the Practice Groups
After the break, divide to classroom group into smaller practice groups. The student to trainer
ratio should be no more than six to one in each of the smaller groups. Ask each group to
divide themselves into teams of two. One student will provide manual CPR while the other
practices the operation sequence; they then switch roles.
Ask students to use the Student Self-Test during the Hands-On Session, both for review of
the operation sequence and as a reference while they watch other teams practice
Depending on how many Lifeline ARM devices are available for practice, manage the teams
as they rotate through the session to be sure that each student goes through the operation
sequence at least three times.
In each practice group, trainers should follow the same protocol:
1.
Trainers and students introduce themselves.
2.
Trainer reviews and demonstrates deployment of the Lifeline ARM at the expected
speed and proficiency.
3.
Students take turns working in teams of two to practice deployment. As each team
works, the other teams and the trainer watch, referring to the Student Self-Test, and
provide feedback. Teams rotate practice sessions until all students have completed
at least three deployments.
4.
Students have the opportunity to review and ask questions of the trainers.
5.
Trainers complete a Competency Checklist evaluation for each student.
6.
Trainer selects one student to “be the trainer.” This student acts as the trainer for
the group to demonstrate the ability to teach others to use the Lifeline ARM.
Evaluating the Students
Learning happens best without fear or pressure. Remind students that you are there to help
them learn, not to criticize them or “catch” them making errors. Ask whether anyone has
concerns or questions that you can address before the evaluations. If needed, explain and
demonstrate any areas that are unclear.
