Hydra creates immersive simulations, giving participants the opportunity to test their skills and new approaches to critical situations.
The Hydra Foundation is a community of ideas linking all emergency services and save-life partner agencies. This vibrant community shares good practice, Hydra simulation exercises and critical incident research findings.
Realistic scenarios in a safe learning environment
Simulations can include a wide range of scenarios, designed specifically to your organisation. Participants get drawn into the experience, getting the chance to respond in real time to realistic pressures in a safe learning environment.

Syndicate discussions and decision logs
Participants work in syndicate groups to discuss the unfolding incident and record their decisions. These decision logs provide a way to capture the group's thinking as the exercise develops.
Plenary discussions
During an exercise, syndicate groups come together in plenary sessions to discuss and compare their decisions. Facilitators and subject matter experts guide these learning discussions.
Creating Hydra exercise content
Our team are skilled at working alongside your teams to create Hydra exercise content. The Hydra Foundation teaches how to convert learning outcomes to Hydra workshops. We believe in your teaching expertise and help you convert traditional teaching methods into Hydra methods.
Learning from debriefing
Learning from 10,000 volts debriefs is fed back into Hydra training exercises to ensure this learning is passed on.
