Tabletop simulation kit
Develop competence for safety critical activities using our cost-effective resource
Tabletop simulation exercises are a valuable tool for developing and maintaining the competence of staff carrying out safety critical activities. They can be used as a standalone resource or used to supplement other learning methods - including high-technology driving cab simulators.

We have developed Simkit® to provide rail professionals with a simple tool for running tabletop simulation exercises. The kit comes in a robust carry case and contains representations of all the items of railway infrastructure and lineside equipment needed to run simulation exercises for:
- Training and assessment of rules, regulations and operational procedures (for normal, degraded and emergency situations)
-
Emergency response
-
Post incident review - investigation and re-creation of critical events and decisions
-
Testing and validation of rules and procedures |
RPD's Paul Durrant explains how Simkit can be used.

Simkit® allows learners to interact with each other and the materials, providing them with a three-dimensional view of the situation and the opportunity to take decisions and put their knowledge into practice in a safe environment. Using Simkit® encourages learners to to think about how as well as what they are learning and to increasingly take responsibility for their own development.

Some new driver trainees from
London Overground Rail Operations Ltd
explain how useful they have found Simkit during their training |
Users of Simkit® have found that it is:
-
Effective: Learners are able to test their own knowledge and demonstrate that they can apply this knowledge, providing a more robust method for developing and assessing competence than traditional classroom methods
-
Efficient: Speeds up learning and assessment, reducing timescales and increasing depth of competence and confidence
-
Flexible: Change and personalise to meet your requirements
-
Portable: A self-contained kit that is easy to carry and store
-
Fast: Quick to set up and pack away
-
Simple: Easy to use and understand
-
Fun: The perfect state of mind for learning. Learners can interact and take part in activities around the tabletop scenario. |
