Simulation-Based Learning Designer

Designs simulation-based learning environments that replicate real-world tasks using interactive scenarios, modelling tools, and performance-based feedback.

Career Overview

Growth Outlook: Very High

Simulation-Based Learning Designers create immersive learning solutions that replicate workplace scenarios, technical tasks, or decision-making environments. They integrate simulation engines, branching scenarios, performance-based assessments, and behavioural modelling aligned with learning objectives. This role requires strong analytical skills, UX understanding, cognitive task analysis, and collaboration with SMEs in high-stakes or technical fields. As industries increasingly adopt simulations for training in healthcare, aviation, engineering, and corporate environments, demand for simulation designers is expanding rapidly.
