SimulTrain®

SimulTrain®

SimulTrain® is a multimedia project management simulation which allows the trainees to experience – within a few hours – typical situations and challenges encountered in most projects.

Various multimedia-driven interactions create a stressful but realistic project environment

An opportunity for practicing (not only planning) and execute a project

Integrated feedbacks allow learning from their own mistakes

Simultrain integrates all factors of project management, including the human factor

For years, we have successfully integrated SimulTrain® by STS into our Master's in Project Management program. This dynamic and versatile tool, as an online project management simulator, transforms the learning experience with its realistic and fast-paced environment for acquiring essential competencies. By immersing participants in the role of a project manager, it actively fosters teamwork and leadership skills. The effectiveness of SimulTrain® is evident in exposing students to real-world projects, enabling decision-making under pressure, and facilitating impactful reviews—all without career implications. Undoubtedly, it has contributed to improving our learning methodology and increasing our students' satisfaction

At the Université du Québec à Montréal, we have used SimulTrain in my "initiation and planning course" for graduate level in project management. The experience was excellent. The students show a high level of enthusiasm, and they enjoyed using the dynamic environment to test some of the main concepts that they have learnt during the class. We also did a little competition among student groups, which made the learning experience fun and exciting. All in all, I believe SimulTrain is a great tool to reinforce project management learning experience in both academic and practical domains.

Delivery

Languages

SimulTrain® is available in more than 20 languages.

Delivery and duration

SimulTrain® is an instructor-led serious game – “played” in an on-site or virtual classroom with groups of 3-4 people

The simulation lasts for about 7 hours including the phases of planning, execution, and debriefing. In most cases, the simulation is split into two parts over two days and combined with other learning activities such as company-specific case studies.

Audience

Junior project managers learn how a project is to be planned and executed.

Senior project managers can review their way of doing project management and challenge themselves to new perspectives.
