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.

Other key strengths are:

  • The reality of the simulations: this ensures that students take our training seriously and normally become very active participants intent on improving their companies
  • The competitive element is ideal for young people, as this encourages teams to do the best that they can and think in an analytical and evaluative way
  • Their suitability for collaborative learning projects
  • The necessity for students to work effectively as a team: essential experience for life after university.

Our academic clients come from across the world, and all find our academic business simulations instructive, intuitive and most of all entertaining and fun for the participants.
