A Process Simulator allows administrators and/or Trainers to:

• Provide trainees with 24/7 access to a skill building training tool
• Establish a "course of study" that helps trainees acquire job skills systematically
• Set up conditions that require operators to react to process upsets
• Establish a low risk way for operators to demonstrate ability to perform their jobs
• Measure gains in skills and performance levels
• Confirm a set of the best operating practices-those used by the most skilled operators-and train everyone to this standard
