What is the purpose of a debriefing session in the CLS course?

The purpose of a debriefing session in the Combat Lifesaver (CLS) course is to gather useful feedback to inform future training. This process allows both trainers and students to reflect on the learning experience, discuss what went well, and identify areas for improvement. Debriefings play a critical role in enhancing the efficacy of the training program, ensuring that the content delivered meets the needs of the students and remains relevant.

This feedback can lead to adjustments in teaching strategies, curriculum design, or even logistical arrangements, all aimed at providing better education and training outcomes. By creating an environment where participant insights are valued, debriefing sessions contribute to continuous improvement in the training process, ultimately preparing students more effectively for real-world application of the skills they learn.
