What are the different crisis sim modes available?
What modes can I run a crisis sim exercise in? Do I need to choose the mode before I start to design the scenario?
We have three different exercise types available: single player, drill, and presentation.
Single Player and Drill exercises both allow for asynchronous events, which means participants can complete the exercise in their own time, at their leisure, or in an assigned time period.
Presentation exercises allow for facilitated events. The exercise must be run by a host and can be presented to an unlimited number of people, who need to take part in the exercise at the same time.
It's generally helpful to choose the mode before designing the scenario, as this will influence the level of detail, the types of injects, and the overall structure of the exercise. However, it is still possible to run your exercise in any of the formats after you have completed your design. The only caveat to this is that drill mode requires a minimum of 2 roles, and all injects need to have a time and date.
