Learning Simulations
The Closest Thing to Real-World Experience

The Gap Between Knowing and Doing
For complex tasks, true competence isn’t built by reading a manual or watching a video; it’s built by doing. Whether it's a new software rollout, a complex piece of machinery, or a critical business process, your team needs hands-on practice to become confident and proficient.
The challenge is that real-world practice can be risky or costly, while unguided exploration can lead to frustration and rabbit holes. A great simulation isn’t just a sandbox; it’s a “coach on your shoulder,” guiding the learner through a process, pointing out what’s critical, explaining the “why” behind the “how,” and providing a safety net as they learn. It bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skill, leaving you to ask:
- How can we accelerate proficiency and reduce the costly errors that come with learning a new system or equipment?
- What is the most effective way to provide consistent, hands-on training at scale?
- How can we build our team’s confidence so they are fully prepared from day one?
Your Toolkit for Hands-On Mastery
We help you close the “doing” gap by creating interactive simulations that provide a guided, coach-like experience of your real-world environments. Our approach is designed to build muscle memory and true competence through active practice.
Master your software
We build “watch, try, do” simulations that allow users to practice any task in your specific software environment, from your CRM to proprietary internal tools.
Operate complex equipment
Through interactive 2D or 3D models, we create simulations that allow your team to practice operating, maintaining, or troubleshooting machinery in a safe, virtual space.
Perfect critical processes
We design step-by-step simulations of your most important workflows, ensuring every team member can execute multi-stage tasks correctly and consistently.
Provide a “coach on your shoulder”
Our simulations provide immediate, contextual feedback, highlighting correct actions and offering in-the-moment guidance and hints to help users succeed.

Interactive Simulations Helps 65,000 Employees Practice With No Risk
The Challenge: WSP, a global professional services firm, needed to refresh a large suite of existing eLearning courses for its proprietary software systems. The goals were to update the content, improve interactivity, and ensure all courses met modern accessibility standards.
Our Solution: We acted as an extension of the WSP team, providing the specialized expertise they needed. A key part of the project was building new, interactive software simulations that allowed their 65,000 employees to practice operational standards and best practices in a safe, no-risk environment.
The Result: The 20 updated courses were a huge success, with 95% of learners responding favorably. The custom learning simulations were hugely popular, contributing to a more engaging, accessible, and effective training experience for WSP’s global workforce.

FAQ about Custom Learning Simulations
What is the difference between a learning simulation and a scenario?
They are both powerful but serve different purposes. A scenario is typically focused on practicing interpersonal skills and decision-making through a branching, narrative-driven story (e.g., handling a customer complaint). A simulation is focused on practicing a process or task within a replicated system (e.g., correctly entering an order or capturing client information accurately in your CRM).
Can you simulate physical equipment, not just software?
Absolutely. We can create powerful simulations for physical tasks using a variety of tools. This could involve using interactive videos and images to guide a learner through a step-by-step annual maintenance process, or building an interactive 3D model of a machine that allows a technician to practice a complex troubleshooting diagnostic. The goal is the same: to provide a safe, virtual environment to practice hands-on skills that would be difficult or dangerous to train on in real life.
How do you handle updates when our software, machinery, equipment, or processes change?
This is a critical consideration. We build our simulations with a modular approach, making them easier to update. We can partner with you to establish a standard schedule for review and maintenance (e.g., an annual review), and we're able to quickly address critical changes that fall outside that schedule. We can also provide you with the source files to make updates internally.
How do you approach accessibility within a simulation?
This is a complex but important challenge. Because simulations are, by nature, highly visual, they have inherent accessibility limitations (e.g., a screen reader can’t interpret a picture of a software screen or a 3D model). We address this by partnering with you to create an accessible alternative learning path, such as a separate, text-based version of the training that provides an equivalent experience for users with visual impairments.
How do you ensure the simulation provides an accurate learning experience?
Our goal isn’t to create a full replica where users can interact with everything; that would be unfocused and costly. Instead, our process is built on deep collaboration with your internal experts to create a guided learning experience. We use your source materials—from screen recordings for software to maintenance manuals for equipment—to focus the simulation on the most critical paths to success, providing a “coach on your shoulder” that explains the “why” and offers support, ensuring the final product is an effective and accurate training tool.
