Our Virtual Reality Training offers an experience that is Better Than Reality

BTR Virtual Reality Training was founded by Tully Young, who is acting CEO. Tully’s background is largely as Founder and Managing Director of Blue Tongue Skills.

For two decades, the culture of Blue Tongue Skills has been to lead and pioneer solutions to skills shortages in mining, which led us to explore how VR technology could be used to train people. This is how our journey got started into what VR technology could do to break operational bottlenecks, increase productivity, and decrease workforce risk.

What sets us apart is our deep industry skills expertise. We are trade skills and training professionals developing technology that truly works in real-world scenarios, compared to tech firms that develop standard, run-of-the-mill, off-the-shelf solutions. With client services and technical job skills training in our DNA, we combine this expertise with cutting-edge technology to be a uniquely valuable partner for your business.

Our Vision

To make heavy industry more productive, and with less risk through technology.

The program was way better than I expected — it felt natural, hands-on, and way more engaging than pen and paper. VR helped me retain safety processes by experiencing them first-hand. Even though I knew the hazard was coming, my brain still flinched. You actually feel the danger. It hits differently when you see something about to fall on you. This is the future of training — it's how hands-on people like us actually learn.

I normally teach in a classroom using manuals, but this VR experience was far more effective than I expected. The information actually stuck with me — I was doing the task, not just reading about it. Compared to traditional training, it was engaging, immersive, and felt incredibly real. If this is how we’re training operators in the future, I can see retention and confidence improving massively.

Complex topics became simple. That’s the beauty of this VR technology. It bridges the gap between theory and practice. You actually feel like you’ve been inside the machine. Even without a mining background, I was able to retain tasks, safety steps, and remember how components worked.

It didn’t just teach me something — it showed me how each machine is unique and how you need to approach them differently. I’d absolutely recommend it for other apprentices. It makes you excited to learn because it’s so visual and hands-on. This kind of training should be portable — not a replacement for everything, but a powerful add-on.
