currently providing consulting and technology solutions to the world in Mining Maintenance and Oil & Gas.
Designed for organisations looking to build a skilled workforce, trainees will learn how to perform the role of a Service Person. This includes pre-start checks, job familiarisation, high-risk safety scenarios and hazards, and standard servicing tasks. It’s ideal for Trade Assistants, entry-level Service Persons and 1st and 2nd-year apprentices.
The cost of a bad or even average hire starts in the $ tens of thousands. Interviewing mobile plant mechanics will always be required, however on its own it is not the most effective way to hire people. Testing skills is the only way to be sure a person can operate at the level of skill. We have a world first VR product that gives employers the ability to test heavy mobile mechanics for diagnostic/troubleshooting skills and knowledge. Affordable at only $350.00 per candidate test. Can be done online.
We are working with clients that are looking to break operations bottlenecks, improve safety performance and increase skills. We are unique in that we work with industry to build specific VR modules for them at a fraction of the normal big up-front build cost. We can do this as we take a long-term view, and we are only interested in long-term partnerships.
We offer specific modules of training so you can choose the units that you need depending on the requirements of your business. This enables you to leverage access to our expert skills and industry consulting team and our technical trade experienced Subject-Matter-Experts.
Our ground-breaking technology, in-house tech team reliability and our consulting team creativity make us a unique partner. The process involves operational analysis, skills and safety scoping and consulting, analysis of job performance, workforce characteristics profiling, and identifying gaps in existing training programs.
Through consultation with experts, we have developed VR experiences based on actual incident data, top critical risks and human factors. Designed to allow learners to experience dangerous high-risk situations without the risk of injury – the ultimate ‘lesson learnt’, these modules provide hands-on learning of controls to prevent injury.
We are not only experts in designing great VR modules for trades skills and safety, we also can map the VR training to be accredited training.
You will have 24/7 access to training assets so workers can train anywhere at any time, removing the need for expensive physical workshops. If you have an existing training team, we train them to deliver our virtual reality programs that they can follow to the tee or customise according to your organisational needs. We provide all the necessary training resources and support so that your training team is set up for success.
We are on the cutting edge of technology quality and always pushing to make our mobile plant skills and safety modules the best in the world.
Why? We know the industry needs a circuit breaker to old school inductions and safety training. We also know that the industry lacks skills training, so supervisors are stretched.
Our showcase Service Person VR Training product is a world first.
As we move into automation for mobile plant in mining we will be at the fore-front and ready to train the workforce of the future.
We are excited about building more mobile plant specific modules for the sector through early adopter technology partnerships in 2025 and beyond.
The oil and gas industry has one of the highest fatality rates in the world — 7x higher than any other sector. Despite advancements in safety procedures, the industry continues to grapple with common dangers.
BTR Virtual Reality Training provides an engaging and immersive way to ensure safety in high-risk environments and ability to train on scenarios that are hard to replicate in reality.
Current areas of specialisation include: New Plant Construction, Live Plant and Marine.
As Australia pushes ahead with priority ship and submarine builds, BTR Virtual Reality is leveraging its experience and capability towards helping major employers in defence to train and build the workforce of the future. With resources stretched and talent needing to be pulled from all parts of Australia, our VR training assets will give employers a significant boost in productivity through improved skills and safety training.
Current areas of priority for technology partnerships in defence are all types of metal trades (skills and safety).
Your industry can be fully customised to suit your specific needs. Our industry experienced Subject Matter Experts and consulting team work closely with your team to build something that breaks bottlenecks and rapidly reduces your workforce risk and increases productivity.
We tailor every detail to match your workforce and operations, modifying our modules to reflect
real-world scenarios, ensuring both compliance is streamlined, and skills are improved before starting onsite. This hands-on approach ensures employees gain the confidence and skills needed for real-world application.
Our trade-focused, virtual reality training programs deliver practical outcomes, equipping technicians with the skills and confidence to work on a worksite on heavy machinery in a high-risk environment.
