Why Simulation Trains Learners Faster than Traditional Methods

2020-08-31T19:01:43+00:00August 10th, 2020|Construction Insights, Heavy Equipment Simulators, Heavy Equipment Training, Insights|

Why Simulation Trains Learners Faster than Traditional Methods Why do pilots and physicians train with simulations? Because they can learn better and faster. Pilots were some of the first to use simulators—including the military. Pilots can train in the safety of a virtual environment and never put passengers at risk while learning how to use instruments and navigate the sky. Now doctors and nurses train with simulation—from how to use devices and surgical equipment, to practicing on patient mannequins. Problem solving.  During simulation, learners must think through the material presented, follow instructions and make decisions that will lead to a positive [...]

Simulator Training is the Way to Go

2020-08-31T19:10:35+00:00June 19th, 2020|Heavy Equipment Simulators, Heavy Equipment Training, Insights|

Employee screening — since finding people who are already trained in specific pieces of equipment isn’t always possible, using the simulators as a screening technique for hiring is ideal. Testing potential employees in the simulators to see how they react, their level of coordination and to verify the skills they claim to have, but without putting actual machines or other employees at risk, is a great way to find the right staff.

Improved safety and less risk during training — each piece of equipment is monumentally expensive, to say nothing of the importance of safety for both the operator and the people working in the field with them. Leveraging simulator training is a great opportunity to experience real life situations with zero risk to projects, existing equipment and personnel.
