Submission declined on 18 September 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for promotion or marketing. Drafts that are exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: promotional language: see Words to watch; personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader; informal language. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

Electude International B.V. is an educational technology company located in Nuenen, near Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands. The company develops interactive, simulation-based learning software for automotive and systems technologies education.
Its products are used by vocational education, training centres, and companies in 70+ countries.^[1]

Electude was founded on 13 April 1990 by Koen Berends and John Vlaar, two engineering students interested in car electronics. They developed early interactive training modules that encouraged technical learners to explore and experiment with systems virtually.^[2]
In 1999, the company began incorporating gaming technology into its training materials. By 2007, it launched a Learning Management System (LMS) and the Virtual Simulator Challenge. Electude entered the U.S. market in 2010 and completed its core automotive curriculum in 2014.
Further product milestones include the Electric Vehicle curriculum (2015), Classroom platform (2016), and Heavy Vehicle Systems curriculum (2020).^[3]
In 2025, Electude marked its 35th anniversary with a rebranding campaign introducing a new visual identity.

Electude provides an online learning platform focused on automotive and technical education^[4] The platform includes interactive modules, assessments, and analytics tools that can be used in classrooms, workshops, or remote learning settings.^[5]

• Light Vehicles – introductory and advanced modules in automotive systems.
  
• Electric Vehicles – lessons on hybrid and electric vehicle technology.
  
• Heavy Vehicles – materials for truck and heavy equipment systems.
  
• Systems & Technologies – courses covering broader technical subjects (currently available in the Netherlands).
  
• Connect – a blended learning solution combining digital coursework with physical training aids.

• Gamified and interactive modules designed to increase learner engagement.
  
• Simulations that allow students to practice skills in virtual environments.

Electude’s Mastery Learning^[7] emphasises interactive and discovery-based learning. The approach, summarised by the phrase “See it. Try it. Get it.”, is designed to help students visualise, experiment with, and master complex systems through simulation before applying knowledge in real-world contexts.^[8]
This model is presented as an alternative to traditional lecture-based teaching, aiming to improve engagement and understanding among technical learners.
