Simulated Experiences at Saint Leo

Providing real-world, real-time experiences in a simulated environment

Scenarios

Our highly trained team of Simulation Specialists will work with you to create or adapt any scenario you require.

Some of the most commonly requested and used simulation environments fall under the categories of education, hospitality, and business and include scenarios such as customer service in either a restaurant or hotel setting, sales pitches and other corporate-level conferences, or teaching/managing students. Pre-existing scenarios are completely customizable and may be re-written to add new content and meet any requirements for each unique scenario request. New scenarios can also be created upon request.

A usable scenario is created through coordination between the client and the Simulation Specialist. The client can make adjustments to available scenarios or create unique scenarios in conjunction with available environments. The client will provide the Sim Specialist with a brief description of the scenario synopsis as well as desired challenges and outcomes they wish to include and the Sim Specialist will put the plan into the appropriate format. Using these guidelines, the Simulation Specialist will then perform the scenario via simulation on the appointed day.
