The resource helps develop personal learning and thinking skills, provides a platform for students to demonstrate their Maths and English skills and knowledge, and delivers an authentic work-related learning experience.
When used in conjunction with the simulations, our skills and knowledge measurement and diagnostic tool gives tangible outcomes that your students can use to improve aspects of their course knowledge and skills set.
