The curriculum has been carefully designed to meet these goals.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The StarGuard curriculum is based on experiential learning concepts and an integrated, context-based approach. Students learn by doing, in situations and environments as similar as possible to those where they will work. Active learning \u2013 rather than passive learning by watching videos or listening to lectures &#8211; is a hallmark of the StarGuard program.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The focus of a StarGuard course is on gaining practical skills and an understanding of best practices to build confidence to handle an emergency. Skill sets are best learned and retained by repeat practice in realistic circumstances.
