Reading 14:	Extracts from Australian emergency manual: Training management, Chapter 7 paragraph 7.11 and Annex A.

A sample block syllabus for this training situation is shown below. You will note that a number of the instructional objectives are grouped into one period or topic. This would, of course, have to be supported by your time required considerations in Step 4. I have taken periods to be around 40 minutes in duration; this is an acceptable average.
