Simulation-Based Training That Delivers

The Science and Structure Behind Interplay’s Training Methodology

Interplay Learning has developed training methods grounded in how people absorb and retain skills, particularly in complex, high-risk environments such as maintenance, manufacturing, and crane and rigging. Their proprietary simulation model is built around three proven learning principles:

• ​Repetition drives retention
• ​Immersive environments activate spatial and sensorimotor memory
• ​Step-by-step simulations train efficient, deductive reasoning

Each simulation is designed to teach learners to think through problems logically, reducing trial and error and building job-ready confidence more quickly. The approach is scalable and repeatable, ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience for all learners, regardless of shift, role, or site.

Training Designed to Match How People Learn Best

Simulations are the foundation for building lasting skills at Interplay. Their approach mirrors how people actually learn: through repetition, real-world context, and decision-making practice. When combined with expert-built videos and instructor-led training, these simulations help teams build the confidence and competence needed to solve problems under pressure—safely, efficiently, and consistently.

What Sets Interplay’s Simulation-Based Training Apart

• ​Recreates real-world tasks and field conditions across crafts and equipment types
• ​Builds confidence through repeated practice in safe, immersive environments
• ​Scales easily across job roles, shifts, and locations
• ​Reinforces critical thinking, decision-making, and technical precision
• ​Supports onboarding, upskilling, and hands-on readiness, regardless of the craft

Training for Mechanical, Electrical, Crane, and Rigging Crafts

Interplay’s simulation-based training is tailored to reflect how each craft learns and performs in real-world scenarios. Whether troubleshooting electrical systems, maintaining mechanical equipment, or preparing for complex crane lifts, the simulations provide hands-on experience in a safe, repeatable, and scalable format.

For industrial maintenance and technical roles, the structured learning cycle—Training, Challenge, Assessment, and Reflection—builds strong diagnostic skills through guided practice. For crane and rigging, the immersive VR simulator helps operators build precision, safety, and lift-readiness through real-world scenarios and NCCCO exam preparation, all without tying up equipment or SME resources.

“We still do instructor-led training, but the simulator adds a whole new level of preparation. Operators can get hands-on time without needing to set up a real crane, which frees up resources and increases their confidence before getting into the real thing.”
