A simulation training system having a network system (10) establishing communications among a trainee client domain (20), a trainer client domain (30), a simulation training server system (40), and a simulation training database system (50). In operation, the trainee client domain (20) and the simulation training server system (40) provide an objective simulation certification indicative of a simulated operation of a transportation machine by a simulation trainee. The trainer client domain (30) provides simulation training courseware specifying an objective simulation testing of the simulated operation of the transportation machine by the simulation trainee. And, the simulation database system (50) stores and facilitates a viewing of the objective simulation certification of the simulation trainee.
