Introducing simulator-based training to civil markets poses various challenges – from public acceptance of the validity of simulator-based training to simulator adaptation syndrome (SAS). This paper describes a methodology for establishing an approved commercial facility designed to offer simulatorbased driver training. This methodology is based upon observation and evaluation of XPI's experience of setting up and running a Driver Simulation Centre (DSC) offering simulator-based training to commercial drivers. The methodology will inform readers about the challenges associated with provision of such training services, and provide particular focus on the approval of the training centre by the UK Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). While relevant to all audiences, the paper specifically examines aspects relevant to delivery of training within commercial domains, such as engagement of new user communities with limited exposure to simulation and certification by relevant authorities. Common aspects relevant to driver training delivery applicable to all domains, such as device- and system-level user engagement, measurement of training effectiveness and use of consumer technology are also addressed.
