Introduction.

The training of simulation instructors has been changing in recent years, including the virtual modality. The objective of this work was to compare satisfaction with face-to-face versus virtual training and to investigate the relevance of the topics addressed.

Material and methods.

Cross-sectional descriptive study, out of 92 surveys completed by the participants after the course in the face-to-face group and 77 in the virtual group. Demographic data, the degree of satisfaction and the relevance of the topics addressed were collected, with the aim to compare satisfaction degree with face-to-face versus virtual training; and investigate the relevance of the topics addressed.

Results.

96% of the participants in both groups considered themselves very satisfied without significant differences. Most participants, 96% and 95% in the face-to-face group and the virtual group, respectively, considered the course content to be very relevant. Therefore, the virtual modality was equally satisfactory for the participants as the face-to-face one.

Conclusion.

Virtual training, which could improve the accessibility of facilitator training.
