Realists Academy
Our core competences are the production of real training systems as well as the realization of training events and their support through appropriate didactic methods. While our RealSpine Training System enjoys a high level of recognition, we would also like to draw your attention to our Realistic Training Concept. This concept is structured around a method-based didactic framework and has already been tested many times. The goal is to impart knowledge and skills with the shortest possible learning curve for maximum learning success.
Cognitive Task Analysis CTA
The CTA makes mental thinking processes, which are automated and not observable, visible to the learner and therefore helps to cope with tasks, solve problems, and to make decisions.
