Despite the presence of cabin crew who is certified to provide medical care to the passenger, failure to acquire the non-technical skills and low level of knowledge and technical skills retention is reported to be major challenges in developing a highly competent cabin crew in providing effective medical care. Having the ability to design simulations, implement it into teaching, and effectively evaluate simulated performance is starting to become a key role for educators in health care. For most educators, a practical knowledge and skills gap resides between the need for simulation learning and proficiencies in designing and utilising simulation. The purpose of this model was to develop a ‘trained educators’ from the aviation industry with the knowledge and skills to utilise simulation effectively. The steps involve identification, development, and integration with a follow-up assessment. The implementation of the pro- gram yielded a significant improvement on the participants’ knowledge, t (129) = -6.27, p < .001 together with a total DASH-SV score of 6.32. The barriers, including difficulties encountered executing the model, are discussed combined with the implication for future ap- plication. This model is an effective approach for developing a trained educator in first aid for aviation incorporated with simulation learning. The trained educator will then become a pioneer and train another organisation.
