Clinical simulation is a cornerstone of healthcare education, yet comparative evidence on learner perceptions of technical skills (TS) versus non-technical skills (NTS) training remains limited. This study aimed to examine Kirkpatrick Level 1 satisfaction across simulation course types and explore associations with participant characteristics. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1806 healthcare professionals who attended 133 simulation sessions between 2024 and 2025. Participants completed a 16-item ad hoc questionnaire (Cronbach α = 0.959) covering four domains scored 1–10. Domain scores were compared between TS (n = 1224) and NTS (n = 582) courses using Welch t-tests and Cohen’s d. Spearman correlations assessed associations with age, gender, and professional category. Overall learner satisfaction was excellent (mean 9.55 ± 0.70). TS courses scored significantly higher across all domains (p
