The Simultrain® project management training simulator.

Simultrain® is a project management training simulator which allows learners to manage a project in conditions similar to reality. It is then the opportunity for participants to practice running a project, facing some of the many situations found in most projects.
 
It lets the participants experience all the factors of project management in one comprehensive package:

• Costs
• Deadlines
• Quality
• Human factors.

The simulator work is based on six fundamental principles:

• Learning through error and correction:
  The participants learn to avoid and correct classic errors in project management
   
• Simulation exercises:
  The participants manage a project under highly realistic conditions. This allows one to see which aspects they need to improve in their project management.
   
• The participants work in groups, just like in real projects.
   
• Putting things into practice: each simulation session is followed by a debriefing session focusing upon the points which require improvement, a transfer of the knowledge acquired and its practical implementation in the company or institution of the participants.
   
• Supervision and support: a trainer follows the groups during the simulation and debriefing stages and assists in the practical implementation of the knowledge and skills learned.
