New £50m Northern Ireland FRS L&D College Features LearnPro Group's XVR Simulation Suite
LearnPro Group is proud to announce
its collaboration with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) in
integrating its cutting-edge XVR simulation technology at the newly opened
Learning & Development College in Cookstown. This partnership signifies a
substantial advancement in emergency services training, providing immersive,
scenario-based learning experiences that enhance preparedness and response
capabilities.
The £50 million flagship project
represents NIFRS’s most significant capital investment. The facility is
designed to transform the training of fire and rescue personnel, offering
state-of-the-art resources such as a Tactical Firefighting Facility, a Mock
Fire Station, a Flood Water Facility, and a Call-Out Village. These resources
enable the simulation of real-life emergency scenarios, ensuring responders
acquire the skills and knowledge to manage complex situations effectively.
LearnPro Group's XVR simulation
technology plays a pivotal role in this transformation. It enables the creation
of realistic, repeatable VR training scenarios that can be customised to
specific operational needs. This technology allows trainees to engage in
high-fidelity simulations, enhancing their decision-making, coordination, and
communication skills in a controlled environment.
LearnPro Group CEO, Costi Karayannis,
said:
“We've loved working with Northern
Ireland Fire and Rescue over the last few years to embed XVR simulation
technology into their training and assessment programme. We've been excitedly
following the progress of their new state-of-the-art training centre from construction
to its official launch. We're beyond thrilled that XVR is playing a key role in
advancing training methodologies, whilst contributing to the safety and
effectiveness of emergency responders.”
LearnPro Group is committed to
supporting the development of emergency services training programmes through
innovative technological solutions. The integration of XVR simulation at the
NIFRS Learning & Development College is a testament to the company's
dedication to advancing training methodologies and enhancing the safety and
effectiveness of emergency responders.
