Why It Works

With a long history in the Military, Medical and Aviation industries, simulation has proven to be an extremely effective training and learning tool.  Simulation is particularly successful when content is primarily cognitive and procedural.  Professional trades skill sets are well-suited for this type of teaching and learning product.

For the Training and Testing Organizations

Simulation will:

  • Reduce on-going training and testing costs
  • Reduces risk and liability
  • Offer real-time scalability
  • Offer consistent delivery anytime, anywhere
  • Accurately assess user understanding and competency

For the Student

Simulation is: 

  • Engaging and interactive
  • Promotes understanding - not rote knowledge
  • Self-paced
  • Goal-focused
  • Available anytime, anywhere

 

INDUSTRY CASE STUDY:

Content: Officer tank command training

Study: 6 week live training course (All Live) versus 2.5 week desktop simulation and 3 week live training (Blended).

Outcome:  100% student success (Blended) versus 72% student success (All Live).  Attempts required to demonstrate proficiency: Average 2 attempts (Blended) versus average 6 attempts (All Live).  Improved outcomes & reduced time to competence.
