In every professional domain, newcomers must master a blend of technical and social skills to perform tasks effectively, gain acceptance, and develop the competence expected within their field. To cultivate students into professionals, simulation-based training has emerged as a vital pedagogical approach in professional education, offering deliberately context-sensitive instruction within relevant technical and social scenarios. This article explores coordination work in interactional detail by examining how students assume future professional roles and establish role relationships with relevant human and nonhuman participants. We ask: How does the social and material organisation of simulation-based exercises contribute to training multiple dimensions of coordination with relevant others during complex operations? To address this question, we collected video recordings from complex, real-time maritime simulation training in three bachelor's programmes at universities in Norway and Sweden. To analyse our data, we used practice-based, sociomaterial theories and Nicolini’s metaphor of zooming in and out of practice to shed light on the intricate and relational interplay that unfolds during training scenarios, emphasising coordination work as multidimensional in nature. These insights contribute to understanding how students learn the relational aspects of coordination through simulation-based training by engaging in the meaningful production and reproduction of professional practices
