A Face Up simulation is a training space: you're allowed to get it wrong, and that's exactly where progress happens. Here are a few tips to make the most of it.
Set yourself up well
- Choose a quiet place, with no background noise or people passing by.
- Use a headset with a mic: the sound is clearer and the exchange more natural.
- Check your equipment on the preparation screen before you start.
Play along
- Speak out loud and clearly, as in a real conversation.
- Step into the role: the more you get into it, the more useful the training.
- Take your time to think before you answer, silences are allowed.
- Keep an eye on the cheat sheet if the scenario provides one.
Take the pressure off
No one is judging you: not your counterpart, not your debrief. The goal isn't to get it "right" the first time, but to train with confidence and leave with concrete leads. Give it a go, even if it means starting over.
