Making the Business Case
for the Training Service Provider

Training heavy equipment operators is hard. And costly. Hard, because you're teaching skills, and that takes lots of drill and practice under careful supervision. Costly, because all that drill and practice is expensive with wear-and-tear on real iron, not to mention instructor salaries. Let Simlog help reduce those costs and improve your training program, by turning your PC into a professional training simulator! That's right. You've got the PC. We've got the simulator "ingredients". Put them together to create your own operator chair. Some customers even have multiple Simlog stations. Finally, true cost-effective simulator-based value!

With Simlog, your students will be learning the right way to do things, thanks to "best practices" input from our OEM partners and training professionals just like you. So you'll find the right kind of simulated tasks, the right kind of task progression, and the right way of evaluating the simulated work. The fact is, we can help improve your bottom line, in the following eight ways: Use the simulator at local job fairs to promote your training program and increase the number of training applicants. With Simlog help, you can give everyone the same training opportunity, but still carefully pre-screen for operator potential using your own simulator-based benchmarks. (Studies show that up to 30% of trainees don't have enough "aptitude" to become really proficient once training ends.) Help your trainees better understand operating concepts by demonstrating them, instead of just explaining. Help trainees "in difficulty" to meet your same training objectives by allocating to them more simulator time. In this way, you can be sure that everyone will be ready for subsequent training in the field. Make the training at the controls of your heavy equipment safer. How ? By providing a "virtual seat" for the drill-and-practice needed to acquire the necessary muscle memory and gain self-confidence. Remember too that fewer mistakes in the field means less wear-and-tear on your iron, since the "accidents" now happen on the simulator. Thanks to the simulator-based preparation, your students will reach their performance targets sooner at the controls of your heavy equipment. As a result, you'll now "find" time to teach them more advanced techniques without increasing your seat-time hours. Simlog's software lets you change certain parameters to make the simulated equipment better mimic your equipment, to improve what's called "training transfer". But at some customer sites, trainers are also making the simulated equipment better mimic equipment that they don't have, to let students get ready for equipment that they'll likely encounter as operators. Finally, with improved skills, your graduates will be more employable, and the reputation of your training program is increased. And that means more applicants for your next class. There's no need to stand around and watch the simulator-based work, because everything is automatically saved on your PC. We even make it easy to keep track of the simulation results, and develop your own simulator-based benchmarks! Becoming a Simlog customer also means joining our growing community of leading heavy equipment operator training schools all around the world. The fact is, everyone is struggling with the same business problems, and they are all working to make their programs better. With help from our unique Personal Simulators.
