Custom Simulations

Custom simulations for high-stakes jobs.

We make custom simulations for learners to practice and apply real decisions before they encounter them on the job.

The Problem

Onboarding and job shadowing lacks practice spaces for risky decisions.

Simulations close the gap between knowledge retention and performing it under pressure. They give learners a safe place to practice decisions their role depends on, so mistakes happen in a controlled setting instead of on the job.

Why Now

Job reskilling is growing the need for simulated practice.

6 out of 10

of today’s workforce will require reskilling into more complex roles over the next four years.

As the workforce reskills to more complex roles, simulations are essential for practice motions currently learned via shadowing or in the field.

Practice-Based Training

From knowledge retention to procedural memory.

Knowing what to do, and situationally applying how to do it are two different things. Short, repeated lessons help people remember, but rounds of simulated scenario-based practice lift performance and sustain quality.

Retention rises with each round of practice; without practice it fades.Practice 1Practice 2Practice 3Practice 4No practiceTimeSkill retention

Where Simulations Fit

Built for transfer to the job.

Simulations aren’t a single solution. They bridge the gap between information fluency and real-world practice to raise training effectiveness and future-proofing job readiness.

Information Fluency
01

Coursework creates the foundation

Establishes baseline performance standards for the target job or workflows.

Guided Practice
02

Simulations build judgment and situational mastery

Often used in onboarding, simulations give learners a safe space to make mistakes, build repetition, incorporate situational feedback and refine judgment.

Independence
03

Practical application on the job

Drives learning transfer through independent execution of role-based tasks.

FAQ

Custom simulation FAQs

Who are custom simulations for?

Corporate and frontline teams in roles where mistakes are costly or environments are changing at a faster rate than in the past. This includes:

  • New workers are being asked to reskill into high-stakes jobs
  • Experienced staff are required to apply human judgment in new environments which requires problem-solving, critical thinking, risk mitigation, and systems thinking.
What skills do simulations build?

Custom simulations help learners build a systems-thinking mindset, risk mitigation technique, and decision-making judgment for interrelated situations and tasks.

When do you need a custom simulation?
  1. You don’t have a safe environment for learners to practice how to handle rare, but high-risk scenarios or situations.
  2. You find yourself needing to perform more frequent retraining or coaching on the job.
  3. Your new hires are struggling to be as productive as fast as past new hires could.
What are the benefits of a customized solution?

Unlike generic off-the-shelf training, custom simulations mirror your specific company context and workflows, allowing learners to more immediately apply learned knowledge and skills. By building risk mitigation and systems thinking skills, customized approaches result in fewer on-the-job errors, a faster time to proficiency, and a more productive, agile workforce. Custom solutions are also used to satisfy more strict, context-specific safety and compliance requirements.

Why not just add AI into on-the-job practice?

Our solution coexists within AI-led onboarding tools, and we provide tooling to import simulation assets into your searchable knowledge bases for modern AI agents. Each simulation is customized around your target skills, procedures and mastery standard. Using AI alone without guided practice simulation environments:

  • Learners risk offloading their thinking to AI
  • Scenarios can drift from reality
  • Learners may gain a false sense of confidence over true skill mastery
What format are simulations delivered in?

Custom simulations are integrated into your existing learning ecosystem. They are designed based on your specific technical requirements, including:

  • Interoperability (e.g., SCORM and xAPI) within existing LMS platforms (e.g., ExceedLMS, Docebo, Canvas)
  • Ingestion tooling to import simulation assets into your searchable knowledge bases for AI agents
  • Standalone delivery (HTML, SharePoint, Intranet, Cloud-Hosted)

We provide guides to help you make content updates yourself using professional authoring applications or AI update tools. Clients own all delivered asset (illustrations, videos) and authoring files (Storyline, Rise, Evolve, bespoke HTML).

Do you support compliance or decision-grade simulations?

Yes. If required, we can support generating verifiable performance data with scoring fidelity, hyper-tuned scenarios with realistic stressors, defensible psychometrics, and adaptive remediation.
