Errors in decision-making worldwide highlight the for in decision-making. The unpredictability and complexity of emergencies makes in every possible impossible. Rather than training in specific examples of major events, training in a decision-making set will provide a method of that will be transferable to all emergencies. Various scenarios will support the training as a decision needs a context for application. The resulting educational will focus on emergency services at the strategic and tactical levels in the stage of an emergency. The continual engagement of stakeholder should result in a purpose-built training course. Design science research approach will be utilised, investigating connections between theories of cognitive load and expert performance. Key aspects of the developed training course will include the concepts of metrics, deliberate practice and proficiency based progression, to ensure an appropriate training programme rather than a mere educational experience.
