AWOC Instructional Component

IC 8:   WES Simulations

 

General Information

Estimated IC Completion Time
Approximately 3-4 hours
Description
Students will apply Winter AWOC concepts in an operational context with two simulations that are run on site using the WES. Simulations are organized and proctored by the local training facilitator. A winter WES case, complete with simulation guide, is being released for the training facilitators to consider using in AWOC. Each simulation guide contains support materials that illustrate how simulations can be created to support AWOC perfomance objectives. Training facilitators can use these cases and materials for the simulations in AWOC, or they may develop their own simulations using other cases. The two simulations will fulfill the annual WES requirement for the winter season.
Testing Procedures
Testing for Instructional Components (IC) lessons is provided to the student using the NWS Learning Management System (LMS). If testing is required, the test must be successfully completed in order to complete the lessons. A score of at least 70% on the exam is required to successfully complete each lesson.
