Yes, in some situations. The three-to-four-day lab produces better results because it provides more issue-based coaching and “soak-in time” at the end of each day to help lock in new skills. It’s like learning how to fly a plane. To become a pilot you must finish ground school, and of equal importance, you must log hours actually flying the plane. CCA labs are constructed the same way. Short sessions simply provide an awareness of ways to handle high-stakes situations. Full sessions equip your team with the skills and tools needed to succeed under fire by providing ample “flight time.”
