NCS is a revolutionary enterprise app enabling users to create fully interactive and scalable systems simulations in minutes via simple drag and drop selection –
NCS is adaptable for any subject matter or purpose, with output viewable/usable on any device.
NCS will deliver transformative benefits at scale across all forms and levels of learning/training, predictive real-time modelling, systems design/planning and more.
Before NCS, simulation production cost and complexity prevented its use in classroom computer-based training software ‘CBT’.
Now, in a fraction of the time/cost of producing conventional CBT containing no simulation at all,
NCS users can produce training software comprising entirely of simulation:
U-SBT is the world’s only fully simulation-based classroom training software.
With U-SBT, lessons are incorporated in fully interactive simulations of the entire subject matter. Enabling both Spatial
Visualisation and Learning by Doing, U-SBT dramatically improves learning outcomes and training efficacy.
The Science (below) explains the profound beneficial impact at all levels sector-wide, particularly in STEM and complex subject matter.
Produced in minutes with the NCS Enterprise Application and adaptable for any subject matter, U-SBT is a self-contained,
fully scalable & portable app that will work in either stand-alone mode, or as part of a package of training modules.
U-SBT is transformative because it simultaneously provides immediate, comprehensive and contextual subject
This generates dramatic speed and depth of learning, understanding and retention, removing dependency on rote learning and memorising.

Both graphics illustrate the Tokyo underground rail system; both are complex, but the 3D is deeply confusing, whilst the 2D is clear.
U-SBT employs both 2D and 3D graphics. Each has their place in learning complex subject matter effectively;
2D enables critical primary understanding, whilst (where relevant/helpful) 3D can assist secondary/situational comprehension.
Employing 2D/3D judiciously is important because used inappropriately in training material, 3D can be confusing and counterproductive. Below is an excellent illustrative example.
U-SBT is revolutionary AI-enabled software delivering demonstrably game-changing training benefits
The NCS app enables Enterprise Licence Holders to produce/modify U-SBT software quickly and easily, at scale, in-house. Enables platform-wide training software standardisation and autonomy and cost-effective legacy systems upgrade. Removes ITAR issues, obsolescence risk, and 3rd party provision dependency.
U-SBT production: 1 person + 1 day = 1 U-SBT module, entirely simulation, simple & swift to modify.
Conventional CBT production: 1 person + 1 month = 1 CBT module, mainly slides, no simulation, difficult or impossible to modify.
