Academic
Generating enthusiasm and interest for a subject such as business can be difficult, particularly when it comes to students. Learning through experience and by testing new ideas is a sure way to engage and stimulate young people to be passionate about these subject areas. Our academic business simulations are an ideal tool for teaching at all levels; from secondary school all the way up to post- graduates. The aims and objectives can be set at the beginning of the exercise, meaning that the training simulations are customised to suit any learning programme. Executive, our flagship product, is extremely effective in an academic setting as there is the possibility to change the level of difficulty within an exercise, meaning that the simulation can be tailored to any level of participants. It is also possible to add extra modules to the simulation that increase the depth of decision-making in the areas of finance, marketing and operations.
The versatility of Executive and Retailer means that as well as being used for specific teaching areas they are also perfect for integration with separate programmes such as MBA and Masters degrees and business and finance modules within engineering. They can teach students a great deal about the entrepreneurial skills needed to run a business, as well as increased education about the financial, marketing and other areas that the CEO of a large corporation deals with on a daily basis. April Training's business simulations are the ideal tool to give students an insight into the world of business in a risk-free and entertaining environment.
