🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between a controlled practice environment vs a realistic emergency setting • Purpose of skills sessions in building competence and confidence before full drills • Role of drills in testing readiness under conditions that simulate actual emergencies

💭 Think About

• When crew are first learning or improving a task (like hose handling or donning SCBA), which kind of setting helps them focus on the technique without extra distractions? • When the company or master wants to see how the whole team reacts as if a real emergency has happened, which kind of training format is better suited for that? • Look at the words "convenient training location" versus "realistic setting" in the choices—how might those map to practice vs simulation of the real thing?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option treats skills sessions as focused, controlled practice of individual tasks. • Identify which option treats drills as a more complete, realistic run‑through of an emergency scenario. • Eliminate any options that say skills sessions and drills are done in exactly the same type of setting.
