Platinum Simulation Framework
Let candidates do the job, without the equipment.
A ready-made foundation for building simulated training and exams. Development teams anywhere can use it to recreate the software and interfaces candidates work with, then deliver realistic, scored tasks in any modern web browser.
What is a simulation?
A simulation is a realistic copy of the software or interface a person uses at work, running safely in a web page. In a simulated task the candidate doesn’t answer a question about the job. They carry out the job, and the result is checked. Nothing they do can break real equipment, and every candidate starts from exactly the same place.
Think of a flight simulator
Pilots train and are tested in simulators long before they fly the real aircraft: realistic, repeatable and safe. The Platinum Simulation Framework brings the same idea to technical training and certification.
Testing real skills is hard to do well
Questions can’t show doing
Multiple-choice questions test what someone knows, not whether they can actually carry out the task.
Live labs are costly
Real equipment for every candidate means hardware, bookings and constant upkeep.
Starting from scratch is slow
Building every simulation from nothing repeats the same groundwork, project after project.
Everything a team needs to start building
A simulated desktop
Windows and icons like a real computer, with controls to reset a scenario or submit it.
A simulated web browser
Addresses, back and forward, and page refresh, so candidates move between simulated sites naturally.
Templates
Starting points that let a development team build its first simulation quickly.
Full documentation
A complete guide for the teams building simulations on the framework.
Example simulations
Finished simulations to learn from and use as references.
A maintained, commented codebase
Modular and well documented, so teams can extend it with confidence.
A real task, not a question
Candidates work through realistic scenarios, at their own pace, in the browser.
- Multiple scenarios. Different starting states, so each task can begin from a different situation.
- Guided training. Instructions can be built into a simulation for step-by-step practice.
- Progress kept. A candidate with an unstable connection picks up where they left off.
- Scored on outcomes. Marked on what the candidate actually achieved in the simulated environment.
Build once, use it to develop, train and assess
Built for real exam delivery
Deliver
Runs where you need it
Run a simulation entirely in the candidate’s browser, or with a full set of supporting services.
Offline versions
Build scripts create downloadable versions of a simulation that work without a connection.
Simulated back-end data
Realistic data, held in tables, behind the simulated screens, so tasks behave like the real system.
Recovers progress
Progress is kept for candidates with unstable internet connections.
Secure
Authenticated delivery
An exam opens only for a confirmed, valid delivery.
Protected exam data
Exam-related data is encrypted.
Screenshot and focus protection
Detects screenshot attempts and the candidate leaving the exam window.
Connect
Scores sent where they belong
Results are passed to your learning management system or exam delivery system.
Outcome-based scoring
Candidates are scored on the state they leave the simulated environment in.
We’ll build it with you
Platinum provides support and development services to teams building simulations with the Platinum Simulation Framework, from a first prototype to a complete exam.
The benefits at a glance
Tests real skills
Candidates prove they can do the task, not just recognise the answer.
No lab estate
Realistic, hands-on assessment without equipment for every candidate.
Faster to build
Templates, examples and a ready-made desktop and browser remove the groundwork.
Works anywhere
Any device with a modern browser, online or offline.
Secure delivery
Authenticated exams, encrypted data and screenshot detection.
Fits your systems
Scores flow into the learning or exam platform you already use.
