FPS 3000 Troubleshooting Simulator
Program Editions

Simutech's FPS 3000 Troubleshooting Simulator is available in three editions.

The Personal Edition is licensed for personal use. It allows the program to be installed on one computer and may only be used by the individual for whom the license has been purchased. This edition is typically purchased by students, apprentices, tradespersons, etc. wishing to learn or upgrade their troubleshooting skills.

The Workbench Edition* can be used by multiple users and provides evaluation and feedback for each fault attempt. It is suitable for situations where developing troubleshooting skills and providing practice is more important than the documentation of results. This edition does not include reporting or other instructor resources.

The Industrial Edition* includes all the features of the workbench edition plus instructor resources and a more detailed evaluation system. Documentation of results, individual and group reporting, and certificates for successful completion make this edition suitable for use in formal training programs. This edition also has special options for network installations.

*These options have quantity pricing discounts. Contact Simutech for more information.

For more information about licensing please view our Licensing Policy.

What our Customers are Saying
"Having completed this series myself, this is one of the best tools I’ve ever seen. It’s an extremely realistic way to learn and refine your troubleshooting skills without the expense, mistakes, and pressure from the employer. I would recommend this software for everyone and anyone, both novice and advanced."
"Let me first say how great your program is. A great way to hone my troubleshooting skills. Some people will get up in the morning and have a coffee and play a game of solitaire on the computer. Myself, even though I have finished all three programs, I still try to solve one or two in the morning with my coffee. Just waiting for a new series to be released."
"I love the TMC program. It really helps my students improve their troubleshooting skills...TMC does a great job at teaching troubleshooting fundamentals. When my students are troubleshooting my electrically live motor control trainers, I have to be on my toes so they don't injure themselves. With TMC I don't have to worry if they get ZAPPED and I can have over a dozen of them troubleshooting at the same time. I can't do that with my real trainers."
