CESIM SIMULATION GAME USED FOR MENTORCERT
CESIM simulations allows participants to put theory into practice in a risk-free environment. Through this kind of experimentation, participants can put theories to the test, see what works, and become innovative in their solutions to problems. Learning outcomes are highly dependent on the conditions and motivation for learning. The game-like nature of business simulations is proven to engage participants and develop deep-learning skills such as collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving.
Learning to fail and to cope with uncertainty
Failure is never pleasant, but learning from your own mistakes is key part of self-improvement. Business simulations provide a risk-free environment where failure is safe, yet the lessons learned are genuine and applicable in real life.
MENTORCERT CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES

MentorCERT project based on the results of previous An Erasmus+ project led by BBS and called TRUST ME (TRaining for Unique Skills and Techniques for MEntoring). TRUST ME produced a (soft) skill card for general SME-mentors, a hard knowledge package necessary for a mentor and also few assessment tools (entry level, continuing assessment and final assessment) for the mentor training courses.
