Amatrol - E-Learning
Interactive Technical Skill Development, Hands-On Virtual Simulators!
Extending the reach of real industrial skill training beyond the borders of a traditional classroom has become essential as the skilled worker shortage continues to grow. Modern industry increasingly requires a technically sophisticated worker at a time when supply falls far short of the demand. In our fast paced society, developing new skills requires flexible, easily accessed educational material that is available whenever and wherever a student needs it.
Amatrol’s eLearning program meets the challenge for flexible technical training by offering superb technical content depth as well as breadth, strong interactivity for skill development, and excellent assessment and student tracking through an intuitive, easy-to-use web portal. With 24 x 7 access, Amatrol’s eLearning program creates easy access to educational opportunities for technical skill development previously restricted to the classroom. The material is self-paced, making it ideal for individual use, traditional class settings, or a blended approach. Amatrol’s proven curriculum is problem-solving oriented and teaches technical skills in a wide range of industrially-relevant technologies.
Amatrol’s eLearning program invites students and teachers alike into a highly skilled world where understanding and application integrate seamlessly. Amatrol’s interactive multimedia curriculum uses a competency-based instructional design that teaches industry standard skills.

Amatrol’s Virtual Simulators
Interactive Technical Skill Development, Hands-On Virtual Simulators!
Amatrol is bringing industrial realism to on-line learning through our new virtual simulators. Students can now get the look and feel of using real equipment via their computer. The virtual simulators replicate hands-on equipment in such great detail that students will feel like they are using the actual equipment. Students perform essentially the same industry-based tasks using the virtual equipment that they would perform using equipment hardware. With strong market pressure to gain skills quickly, virtual simulators let students develop skills at the speed of business.
- Real world outcome based on student input
- Immediate feedback given for self-teaching
- Convert from trainer to industrial components to ensure real world experience
- Authentic adjustments
- Component hook-up to give look and feel of real lab equipment
A key challenge of every learning environment is to match learning material to different learning styles. In Amatrol’s interactive multimedia, visual, auditory, and text based learning styles reinforce each other in well organized learning segments. Repetition, active problem solving, and self-reviews all provide feedback to students to build confidence in the skills they develop. Each topical area starts with basic concepts and then leads the student into a layered learning process of increasing depth. Practical application of the knowledge is central to all Amatrol learning materials. Students develop knowledge and then learn how to apply that knowledge to modern industry.
