Home - the simulation centre

welcome to the simulation centre

a safe learning space to develop, practice and explore

For us simulation means that a person, or team, is in a real physical space that replicates a realistic work environment - dealing with a relevant situation that includes live interactions with real people. The situation could be an existing or new business need, a dangerous situation or an unknown location.

This experiential learning, without impacting on your organisation's financial status, safety or customer perception is reinforced through feedback, sharing knowledge and mentoring.

At the simulation centre you can develop, practice, and explore, in a realistic virtual environment, that will help you improve and enhance a variety of skills and behaviours.

crowd safety

Through the use of virtual environments, such as festivals, stadia, shopping malls and transport hubs, we are able to simulate every facet of a live show, event or crowded public space - from the front line to the event control centre. This approach enables the development and testing of plans, and opportunities to explore the leadership, teamwork, communication and decision making capabilities of event professionals.
