About Us

About Simformotion

We are passionate about helping organizations succeed.

We provide effective, safe, engaging training technologies to help develop skilled operators today to meet the workforce demands of tomorrow.

Simformotion™ LLC is a privately held, women-owned business headquartered in Peoria, Illinois, USA. Founded in 2009, we specialize in heavy equipment training technologies and services with sales worldwide.

We work closely with operator experts to develop simulators that help organizations dramatically lower costs, address safety issues, increase productivity and achieve sustainability initiatives. Representing brands such as Caterpillar, Growmark and L3 Harris, our training simulators help operators learn and transition seamlessly to real machines and vehicles faster than traditional training methods.

About SimScholars™ Curriculum

In addition to our state-of-the-art Cat Simulators systems, we pioneered and developed the turnkey training curriculum, SimScholars, a 1:1 match to all the simulator exercises. This exclusive curriculum further sets our training system apart from others.

Why Do Instructors Use SimScholars?

Whether instructors have extensive heavy equipment operating experience or very little, they find the SimScholars curriculum invaluable to their training programs. All curriculums guide instructors through each Cat Simulators exercise, starting with a machine walkaround inspection exercise followed by an industry-focused safety curriculum that can be used in tandem or separately from the simulator curriculum.  

Each training curriculum can be used inside or outside the classroom to extend the training experience and is based on exercises featured in an individual simulator model (Articulated Truck, Dozer, Excavator, etc.). The curriculum does not connect to the simulators and does not need to connect. Each curriculum features instructor and learner guides, lessons, videos, quizzes, and more.

How Can Your Organization Subscribe to SimScholars?

SimScholars curriculum subscriptions are available with a Cat Simulators system purchase, and access is free for the first year. After the first year, standard subscription rates are applied. Contact an Account Manager for details. 

After purchasing a Cat® Simulators system, you will receive access and steps to use the SimScholars platform and curriculum. If further help is needed, you may consult with our curriculum developer, who will advise you on integrating the curriculum, schedule implementation and more.  

I find the best way for my students to learn is with a mix of instructor-led learning with the SimScholars™ curriculum then hands-on training on Cat® Simulators. The curriculum gives the students the reasons why they need to maneuver the machine a certain way even before they get on the simulator. It also gives them information they will need when they are on the job site like safety, hazard awareness and machine operation.”
