Simlog: The Emerging Standard
All around the world, the very same kinds of heavy equipment are hard at work
but the OEMs provide little, if any, guidance when it comes to operator
training, especially for entry level people.
That's why Simlog's Personal Simulators are, all by themselves,
emerging as a global standard when it comes to simulator-based
training help, with customers now in forty-two countries.
The fact is, our products
feature Instructional Designs
developed in collaboration with OEMs, their dealers, and especially
training professionals to ensure that
- the right tasks are simulated
- the simulated work is measured in the right way
And where possible, we also look to operator training standards.
For example, the
International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) has developed some crane operator competency guidelines that are popular in Europe.
In the United States, the
National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators
(NCCCO) has developed a Practical Exam, and Simlog's simulation software
was designed to reflect their standardized tasks.
For earth-moving equipment, some programs follow the
National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER)
but their guidelines are more descriptive than prescriptive.
In other words, they present the various kinds of earth-moving equipment along with
operating techniques, but they lack the detail of a "lesson plan".
Here is where the "Instructor Kits" developed by
VISTA Training
can help, and they too are used by many training organisations.
Indeed, the curriculum developed by the
National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools
(NAHETS), based on the NCCER guidelines,
includes Simlog simulator-based components and will soon become an
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) standard.
Here's the bottom line: since Simlog was founded ten years ago,
our products have helped train an estimated 100,000 heavy equipment
operators all around the world.
So using our Personal Simulators will help
ensure the success of your operator training curriculum, and maximize your ROI.
And whether you plan to prepare your own
benchmarks or take advantage of the benchmarks made
available by our customers, choosing Simlog means
- using best practices
- training with confidence
That's why today Simlog is recognized as both the pioneer and the emerging
standard in simulator-based training for heavy equipment operators in forestry, mining, and construction.
