Simulation Quality & Safety Technician
Overview
Simulation Quality & Safety Technician is the stacked capstone micro-credential in the Simulation Technology (SIMT) pathway. This micro-credential recognizes a student’s ability to integrate technical skills, documentation practices, configuration control, risk management, compliance awareness, and professional ethics into applied simulation technician performance.
Rather than introducing new content, this capstone focuses on integration and application. Students demonstrate their readiness to function as entry-level simulation technicians by completing a comprehensive, scenario-based capstone project that reflects real-world simulation environments used in aerospace and healthcare training.
Students apply the full range of skills developed across the SIMT micro-credentials, including system understanding, electronics awareness, documentation, configuration management, hazard identification, compliance literacy, and professional conduct. Emphasis is placed on safe operation, quality assurance, and clear communication, which are core expectations of simulation technicians working in high-reliability environments.
This capstone micro-credential is awarded automatically upon successful completion of all required SIMT micro-credentials and carries no additional cost.
