Why Virtual Reality Training?
Few innovations have disrupted the training delivery industry over the last 50 years.
All innovations over the last decade or so have been related to the distribution of training, e.g. E-Learning, Video Training, Webinars etc. and all are innovations that make it cheaper and easier to distribute to larger numbers of learners.
Many training professionals and experts have argued that these innovations, while certainly decreasing costs and improving productivity, may compromise the effectiveness of the training. There have been NO innovations that improve the EFFECTIVENESS of training and that is why VR is so exciting!
Virtual Reality is the first innovation for decades that actually improves the effectiveness of training, the engagement of learners and the retention of skills – leading to increased behavioural change.
How Does VR Improve Training?
Virtual Reality Training is elevating learning, combining a sense of presence for trainees with advanced learning theory, data analytics, and 3D design.
As learners interact with the virtual world, they make decisions exactly as they would in real world situations, activating the same neural pathways in the brain. Practice in virtual environments leads to improvements in real world performance, with measurable results.
What Sets our VR Training Apart?
For VR training to be successful and effective, we firmly believe that it needs to be an extension of traditional training and developed by those practitioner experts who have spent their careers developing and executing real world training programmes for thousands of learners.
Certified Skills’ development team is led by the subject matter expert, who is an experienced trainer in their specific discipline for the training that is being developed, and follows a structured process with our VR development team to ensure modules are underpinned by evidence based training principles and meet the same criteria of recognised qualifications.
We are specialists in safety training, with vast experience in digital and 3D development, and this mix of skills and experience is essential to successful VR Training.
Trial our Fire Extinguisher Practical VR Training
Our VR Fire Safety Training has been developed by our leading Fire Instructors (all actively serving Firefighters) and includes live fire simulations in 3 different environments; an office, a warehouse and outside a work premises. The most relevant environment to your workplace can be selected and within each, learners will be assessed on their proficiency in:
- Raising the alarm
- Identifying the type of fire that has been ignited
- Selecting the correct extinguisher for the type of fire
- Maintaining a safe distance from the fire
- Extinguishing the fire using correct techniques
