Simulation Training

Learning from mistakes without doing any damage

The word “simulation” implies an imitation of a real-life process, to provide a lifelike experience in a controlled environment. It can be thought of as somewhere to learn from mistakes without doing any damage.

What is simulation-based training?

Simulation training is used to teach trainees the skills needed in the real world. It provides a lifelike, point-of-care learning experience and is widely applied in aviation, maritime, industry, the military and healthcare.

The added value

A well-constructed simulation lets trainees answer the question “If I do this, what happens?”. They can test different scenarios, see what works, and understand how they arrived at right and wrong answers. This trial-and-error approach gives them the knowledge and confidence to apply new skills in the real world.

The value of simulation training is further enhanced by debriefing and coaching. With video recordings, sessions can be analysed, errors identified, successes marked, and the emotions or feelings that influenced the trainees discussed. This is when the real learning takes place.

Practising in a safe environment

Training simulators are an invaluable tool for teaching and training. They provide a realistic, interactive learning environment with real-world scenarios that enhance the educational experience.

Industrial training

Welding Lab — LHP 109 Welding Trainer Lab

Our state-of-the-art welding simulator is aimed at vocational training. It offers a modern teaching trainer that improves the quality of welder training and drastically reduces training time compared with a real welding machine.

The package provides a 3D real-time video platform using realistic virtual-reality technology. It records and replays the welding process and its environment in real time, storing detailed images and hand-motion presentations while accurately recording the motion and process steps, from any viewing angle.

It fully supports evaluation, with a set of graphical and analytical tools. The critical performance indices of each student trial are recorded in the database on the instructor's computer.

Benefits of the A21 simulator

  • No real welding power, electrodes or welding gases are used, so it offers an accident-free environment, especially for beginners.
  • Risk-free, cost-effective practice that shortens training time.
  • Recorded performance indices for objective evaluation by the instructor.
