Several approaches for summative assessment during Advanced Life Support courses are used. The most commonly used method during European Resuscitation (ERC) Council Life Support Courses is that 1 instructor is miming a whole team, and the candidate has to lead this "team" through a scenario; another variant of the summative assessment (mainly used by American Heart Association (AHA) Courses) is with a group of students, where one student is the team leader to be assessed and the others are his team not being assessed. The second approach might be more realistic; however there is no evidence around with regard to effectiveness (pass/fail rate, ability to test non-technical skills (NTS)) or participant/assessor satisfaction.
