In IPC training, what does "hands-on training" involve?

"Hands-on training" in the context of IPC training refers to practical demonstrations and exercises that enable participants to apply skills in a real-world setting. This approach is essential for developing competence in IPC standards and procedures, as it allows trainees to engage actively with the materials and processes they will encounter in their work environments. By involving physical practice, learners gain direct experience, which enhances retention and understanding of the concepts being taught.

Interactive group discussions do foster learning but lack the direct application that characterizes hands-on training. Theoretical instruction without practical application does not provide the experiential learning necessary for mastering IPC skills. Online training modules might offer flexibility and convenience but often do not replace the value of in-person, hands-on experiences where learners can receive immediate feedback and learn through doing.
