STT Trainer, Kaplan IT Learning`s simulation and documentation software for enterprise training, won third place in Building Software Simulations at the 2007 Brandon Hall Software Simulation Shootout.

The annual shootout recognises the best-in-breed learning technology solutions, and was presented at the Innovations in Learning Conference in Santa Clara, California by Brandon Hall, a leading training and development research and consulting firm.

The conference audience serves as the judges for the event. Entries are judged on authoring - ease of use, simulation interactivity and prompts, learner feedback and an overall rating.

In addition to the 2007 Building Software Simulations Shootout award, Kaplan IT Learning also was awarded the 2006 Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Gold Medal in the Learning Technology category, and the 2005 Brandon Hall "Most Innovative" simulation authoring tool award.

"Winning an award three years in a row and being continuously recognised by Brandon Hall is a truly significant achievement for us," said Brian Sholly, President of Kaplan IT Learning. "Our commitment, ongoing focus and product development means that we are continuing to produce innovative and award-winning products year after year."
