SimCapture for Skills is a mobile-friendly platform designed for hands-on skills practice, supporting both on-site and remote learning. The Self-record feature allows learners to record and submit videos of their skill performance for evaluation-by themselves, peers, or instructors.

If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO), you can log in with your credentials.
