What SimTutor does

SimTutor is a simulation-based learning platform that enables organizations to build and deliver interactive, scenario-based training. Its two flagship products are SimTutor Author, a cloud-based authoring tool that lets instructional designers construct branching decision-tree simulations using templates, multimedia, and AI-assisted content generation, and SIMTICS, a library of realistic first-person perspective simulations focused on healthcare and vocational procedures such as ultrasound scanning and medical assisting. Training is delivered through web browser, mobile apps, LTI-integrated LMS deployments, direct links, or embedded widgets, with real-time progress and engagement measurement.

The company monetizes via subscription-based SaaS pricing on a per-author-user and per-module basis with annual billing, configurable subscription terms, and auto-renewal at up to 5% annual price increases. Add-on professional services cover custom content development, migration, and implementation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a free trial limited to one sample module per individual customer.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Atlanta, GA (with a registered address in Saint Charles, MO), SimTutor serves more than 400 partner organizations across healthcare education (MedCerts, Stepful, CareerStep, Unitek Learning, WVJC, NUC University, University of North Dakota, Nova Southeastern University, NIMAA), enterprise training (Canon Medical Systems, GNS Science, Farmright), and adjacent verticals. The company maintains SOC-2 audited security controls. In October 2025, SimTutor was acquired by Lecturio GmbH, a German digital healthcare education company, integrating SimTutor's simulation tools into Lecturio's medical and nursing education portfolio alongside its 2024 Healer acquisition. Guy Harrington serves as CEO.

Core offering

SimTutor provides a cloud-based simulation authoring platform (SimTutor Author) and a healthcare-focused simulation product (SIMTICS) that enable organizations to create, deliver, and measure interactive, branching scenario-based training content. The platform uses AI-assisted tools to auto-generate scenarios and questions, supports first-person perspective simulations of clinical and technical procedures, and is delivered via web browser, LMS integration (LTI), direct links, or embedded deployment for institutional and enterprise customers.

Product overview

SimTutor offers a simulation-based training platform centered on two core products: SimTutor Author — the primary authoring tool for building interactive, hands-on training simulations — and SIMTICS — a simulation-focused learning product targeting healthcare and technical skills. The platform is delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution accessible via web browser and mobile applications. Training is authored using SimTutor Author and delivered through the SimTutor Platform, which supports LMS integration (LTI), direct link sharing, and embedded deployment. SimTutor's built-in AI tools accelerate content creation by auto-generating interactive scenarios, quiz questions, and AI-driven conversation steps for soft skills practice. The platform serves multiple industry verticals including Healthcare Skills, Veterinary Skills, Onboarding, Compliance & Safety, Technical & Equipment, and Customer Training, supplemented by a Simulation Library and Subscription Packs of pre-built content. As of October 2025, SimTutor was acquired by Lecturio to expand its digital clinical education portfolio alongside Lecturio's existing medical and nursing education offerings.

Broad incumbents

• HealthStream: Public healthcare workforce development platform with broad compliance, credentialing, and training products. Overlaps with SimTutor's healthcare-skills and compliance & safety offerings but as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Relias: Large healthcare and human services training provider serving hospitals, health systems, and post-acute care. Competes on healthcare workforce training, though primarily via content library and LMS rather than immersive simulation.

Direct peers

• CAE Healthcare: Patient and surgical simulation division of CAE, focused on realistic clinical training. Directly comparable in providing procedural and scenario-based healthcare training tools to institutions.
• Labster: Virtual lab and simulation platform for science and healthcare education. Comparable SaaS simulation model with institution-focused sales and a content library similar to SimTutor's subscription packs.
• Surgical Science: Developer of virtual reality surgical and interventional training simulations. Closely comparable in simulation-driven healthcare skills training with an immersive, repeatable practice model.
• Laerdal Medical: Global leader in patient and clinical simulation for healthcare education. Direct competitor in healthcare-skills simulation, with much larger installed base across nursing and EMS programs.
