Our Simulations
​
Each simulation was built using real business scenarios and designed for use by industry. This provides the ideal learning opportunity, being both realistic and immersive.
​
Designed to be delivered in a half-day workshop, they can also be split into shorter weekly sessions using the natural break points at the end of each trading period.

“It was fantastic to hear our young people competing to ensure they had the right marketing, the right customer feedback and the right profit margins to make the company successful. Students were very enthusiastic about this form of delivery and valued the real time updates on company performances. This is something we will definitely run again at our college.”
