It needs to have nagging voices added saying things like "You can't turn that off it runs my server" for it to really teach.
Unless you can see what the earthing system is how do you do anything but turn off main isolator? Just can't see point of software.
The going to the client and explaining what will be turned off is an important stage this is missed completely.

My concern is the casual way the two point tester remains attached to the ceiling rose terminals while the "user" goes to the CU to operate the MCB. Unless they are crocodile clips they do not remain in place when the user is elsewhere.
The program does not make enough emphasis on ensuring that the probes are in the right place for the "test for dead" measurement. In real life on returning from the CU the "user" could put the probes in the wrong place and get a no volt indication after having turned off the wrong MCB
Looking at the short demo on YouTube my opinion is that intention is good but there is too little consideration of "real life" and "what if" situations by the author who may be more of a graphics designer than an experienced electrician.
In some training programs the skills of the graphic designer and/or software writer are showcased at the expense of the accuracy and content of the training.

I like this one:

He is apparently surprised that an EFLI test done from the end of a string of leads is more than that direct from a socket.... WHY??????
