This guide walks you through how to use SimCapture for Skills with a peer using two separate devices. If you're looking to practice solo, see How to Use the Self-Record Feature.

Things to Know Before You Begin

• You can access SimCapture for Skills on any device with a web browser, including smartphones and tablets.

Overview of the Peer-to-Peer Process

5. The Learner begins the practice session while the Observer evaluates.

Step-by-Step Instructions
