Solving the Seat-Time Challenge with Simulation Training
Alfred State College faced a critical challenge in its Heavy Equipment Operation program: limited access to real machinery meant students weren’t getting enough hands-on experience to build essential skills. At the same time, training inexperienced students on live equipment introduced safety risks for both learners and instructors.
To overcome these challenges, Alfred State integrated CM Labs simulators into its training program. By adding multiple simulation units, the college expanded instructional capacity, increased student access to practice time, and created a safer, more controlled learning environment.
How Simulation Transformed Training
- Increased Capacity: Expanded program enrollment and provided consistent access to training resources.
- Enhanced Safety: Allowed students to build confidence before operating real equipment.
- Faster Skill Development: Training time improved by an estimated 20–30%.
- Real-World Scenarios: Simulators replicate weather, lighting, and jobsite conditions.
- Objective Assessment: Performance metrics such as task time, fuel usage, and precision support measurable outcomes.
Students were able to gain critical seat time faster, improving skill development and reducing training bottlenecks.
Real Impact for Workforce Readiness
With the addition of simulation, Alfred State grew its program from approximately 40 students to over 100, all while improving training quality. Students now gain exposure to multiple machine types and develop both operational and performance-optimization skills—helping reduce fuel consumption, minimize wear, and extend equipment life.
By combining simulation with traditional training, Alfred State has created a scalable, safe, and highly effective pathway to workforce readiness—preparing students with the confidence and competence needed to succeed in the field.

In the rare event that a burning ember or spark is drawn into the fume extraction unit, there is the possibility that debris in the filters could ignite. Although any resultant fire would typically be retained within the fume extraction unit, this would cause significant damage and in extreme circumstances, the risk may extend beyond the extraction unit. For processes where such risks have been identified, additional protection in the form of an in-line firebox is an additional precaution.
