Challenge your learners with the Realism, Impact, and Engagement of Simulations

The closer that learning activities are to real work situations, the better the learning transfers to the real world.

Real-world relevance is why LearningSim's 5-Step Simulations™ strike the perfect balance of complexity, engagement, power, and ease of use.

Each simulation is a stand-alone training activity designed to help learners practice real-world skills. The key to the 5-Step Simulation™ method is that skill practice is done within the context of a realistic situation that tells a compelling story. This helps the learners embed the knowledge and develop proficiency, whether they are practicing technical skills, interpersonal interactions, sales techniques, or management and leadership skills. Use these simulations “as is” or tweak them to your audience and training needs by editing the included MS-Word files. This robust collection contains 24 scenarios on topics such as decision making, ethics, customer service, giving feedback, negotiation, sales skills, delegation, leadership, and more. Plus you’ll find thorough notes on the essential steps to prepare, present, facilitate, and debrief the experiences for maximum learning.

These simulations run 30-120 mins for classroom or on-the-job training and can be converted to elearning formats.

Purchase Options: Get the CD with 300+ pgs. of reproducible content from Trainers Warehouse or receive the files electronically by email directly from LearningSim by ordering at left. PC only. Single User license $195. Please contact us for multi-user discounts and consultant/re-seller license pricing.

Most training firms are very cautious about letting their customers change their content. That puts extra limitations on what you, the trainer, can do with the material. LearningSim takes a different approach. We recognize that training professionals need the flexibility and permission to tailor, edit, change, and create new material to meet the specific needs of your training audiences. We offer you the flexibility, power, and ease-of-use that you won’t find elsewhere.

Check out these unique 5-Step Simulation™ benefits:

• Each simulation has five steps—no large, complex, unwieldy components or parts to worry about.
• Each simulation can be printed and used right away, as many times as you need it.
• The 24 simulations cover 15 different topics in three broad categories: General Business Skills, Emotional Intelligence & Interaction Skills, and Management & Leadership Skills.
• You can edit the simulations yourself, if you like.
• You can apply your own look and feel or company “branding” to your training material.
• You can create and deliver your own 5-Step Simulations™ to your clients with the Certified User license.
• You can use the participant, partner, and facilitator material right off the page or tailor it to your audience.
• There are no per-participant material fees.
• You get an extremely cost-effective solution. (compare this to providers charging $25, $50, $100, $150 or more per participant set!)
• You don’t need a graduate degree or specialized knowledge to understand the instructions.
• The user guide includes suggestions for trainers on how to use 5-Step Simulations™ in a wide variety of training programs, including e-learning simulations.

Why five steps?

The five-step process strikes an ideal balance between power and simplicity. Any good model or process needs to be simple enough to remember and use, and powerful enough to get results. 5-Step Simulations™ condenses the research-based simulation-enhanced learning process (Hill & Semler, 2001) to its essentials. It is simple enough that a trainer can select and prepare a simulation in less than 30 minutes. At the same time, it is powerful enough to provide learners with realistic challenges and meaningful decisions to make.

Which 5-Step Simulation™ license is right for you?

This 5-Step Simulation™ method and reproducible, editable material is so valuable, we wanted trainers and organizations everywhere to be able to get its benefits! There are two types of license and multi-user licenses give discounts; one of these licenses is sure to fit your situation. To choose the license that is right for you, ask yourself these questions:

Case 1. Do you design and deliver training yourself within one organization? If you are going to be preparing and delivering 5-Step Simulations™ yourself, then purchasing a single Individual User license is your best choice.

Case 2. Do you have multiple training professionals within your organization? If you have a team of people who will be working with 5-Step Simulations™ inside your organization, then you should purchase a multi-user Individual User license to cover each training professional who designs or delivers the simulations. (You can get these in 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10-user licenses, with discounts based on the number of licenses purchased.)

Case 3. Do you design or deliver training for other organizations? If you design or deliver 5-Step Simulations™ for profit or for multiple organizations, then you need to showcase your professional status and integrity with a Certified User license. (These are also available in 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10-user licenses if you have multiple designers or trainers in your firm!)
