Business Case for the School/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.
