Job simulations
Job simulations for engineers and AI careers
A job simulation is a realistic training project at a simulated company. You get the emails, tickets and project documents a junior engineer gets, do the work in your browser and the 3D lab, and have every task checked. It is not a real job, and it is free to start.
How it works
Five steps, one working week
- Start freePick a role and start. Days 1 to 5 are free, with no card.
- Morning email and ticketsEach working day your lead sends an email and assigns tickets, as on a real project.
- Real documents and the labRead the specifications and drawings, then do the hands-on work in the 3D lab.
- Checked hand-ins and model answersEvery task is checked as you hand it in. You see the model answer and why.
- Profile entry and optional certificateIt shows on your EDWartens profile under Work experience, marked as a job simulation. A verifiable certificate is optional.

Questions
Quick answers
What is a job simulation?
A job simulation is a realistic training project at a simulated company. You get the emails, tickets and project documents a junior engineer gets, do the work in your browser and the 3D lab, and have every task checked. It is not a real job, and it is free to start.
Is a job simulation a real job or an internship?
No. It is a training project at a simulated company. It is not employment, an internship or a work placement. If you want a longer programme with an AI mentor and a free certificate, see our internships.
Is it really free?
Yes. Days 1 to 5 are free: every ticket, the documents, the 3D lab, checking and model answers. Nothing is sold inside the work. The certificate and the longer Premium edition are optional.
How many hours is it?
The free edition is days 1 to 5, self-paced. Each role page lists its tickets with minutes. The hours on your profile are active hours you logged on EDWartens, not hours at a company.
What do I get at the end?
A profile entry under Work experience, marked as a job simulation, with the dates and your logged hours. The optional certificate adds a graded score, a verification page and a QR code.
Can I put it on my CV?
Yes, as a job simulation, with the simulated company named. List it under projects or training, not as employment.
Is the company real?
No. Every company, client and site is fictional and is always shown with "(simulated company)". The people in the story are roles, such as Lead Engineer, not real people.
How do I check a certificate?
Open the verification page printed on it, or scan its QR code. It shows the holder, the role, the score band and the date.
