Interplay Learning Launches 20 Simulation-Based Skill Verification Tests
Austin – October 15, 2026 -- Interplay Learning has launched Skill Verification, a simulation-based assessment tool with an initial catalog of 20 assessments that lets employers test whether a worker can perform trades-specific tasks before dispatch, contractor authorization, new-hire placement or promotion.
Simulated assessments replace interviews and multiple-choice tests
Employers in skilled trades and industrial roles have limited ways to verify hands-on ability before putting someone on the job, according to Interplay. Traditional assessments can require expensive equipment, dedicated facilities and significant supervisor time. Interviews and multiple-choice tests do not show whether a worker can execute a task.
Skill Verification uses simulations that mirror real equipment and conditions. Supervisors and safety leaders receive objective, step-level evidence of readiness across electrical safety, industrial controls and other areas.
