Train the Next Generation of
Broadcast Professionals
BroadcastSIMS gives every student a front-row seat to live production. Our hands-on simulation software teaches real-world broadcast skills — from camera switching to audio mixing — preparing students for a career in the control room, the studio, a production truck, and many more live production opportunities.
What Is BroadcastSIMS?
Leader in Live Production Simulations
BroadcastSIMS is a suite of interactive, web-based simulations designed to teach students the art and science of live broadcast production. Each simulation places learners in authentic production roles — Technical Director, Audio Engineer, Graphics Operator, Replay Operator, and more — so they build confidence, develop technical fluency, and gain the industry-ready skills employers are looking for.
Whether your program has a state-of-the-art studio or a cart of Chromebooks, BroadcastSIMS levels the playing field by giving every student meaningful, hands-on practice.
Real Interfaces. Real Skills.
Each simulation replicates the look and feel of professional broadcast equipment. Students interact with realistic interfaces, respond to production cues, and make the same split-second decisions professionals make every day — building muscle memory and confidence that transfers directly to the control room.
The Old Way
For decades, breaking into the live production industry meant job shadowing for free, hoping the right person would give you a chance running cables or working as a production assistant. BroadcastSIMS changes that story entirely — giving students real production experience from day one.
Cost to Entry
- •Equipment prices typically exceed budgets for new and small/medium broadcast programs
- •Training cost per student results in higher turn-over & fewer skilled workers
Print Journalist Teachers
- •Most districts only require journalism certification to teach Audio/Video production courses
Inefficient Path to Employment
- •Employment is available only through networking and freelancing
- •Process can take multiple years until full-time employment
No Industry Certification
