SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE VERIFICATION OF TRAINING

摘要

A system is provided for the validation of training by a validation authorit y of trainees located at remote locations. The training is delivered to the trainees electronically by the validation authority, generally, over the Internet. The training generally includes a theoretical component and a practicum. The practicum comprises the applicati on of forces by the trainees on a mannequin such as in the case of CPR training or therapeutic massage training. The theoretical component of the training session is completed by the trainees on-line and the trainees are examined on-line. Examination results are transmitted to the verification authority. During the practicum examination, a mannequin is provided that is instrumented to measure forces applied by the trainees creating a dataset. T he dataset is transmitted to the verification authority for comparison with therapeuticall y correct values. The verification authority will generate a pass or fail signal. If a pass signal is generated, a certification authority will issue a certificate of successful completion to the trainee by mail or by e-mail to the trainee's computer workstation. The system can include oversight by a training professional by two-way audio-visual communications between th e verification authority location and the remote trainee location.
