How has your work or organisation changed since you started using the Vobling VR Fire Trainer?

Since introducing VR technology in 2017, our approach to fire safety training has evolved significantly. The VR Fire Trainer has made our courses more efficient, engaging, and cost-effective. It has allowed us to simulate realistic fire scenarios safely, ensuring that participants gain practical experience without physical risk. This innovation has enhanced the quality of our training and strengthened our position as a forward-thinking provider of safety education.

Do you have any key metrics for your improvement?

Yes. The introduction of VR-based training has led to substantial savings in time and resources while maintaining the highest standards of competence among our instructors and participants. The technology has helped us increase training capacity and improve knowledge retention and performance among trainees. Most importantly, client feedback confirms that the new training approach has significantly boosted confidence and preparedness in real-life fire situations.

Beyond measurable efficiency gains, the real value for our clients lies in risk reduction and cost savings. VR-based fire training minimizes the need for expensive on-site exercises and reduces time spent away from core tasks, lowering overall training costs. More importantly, it helps prevent negative incidents by improving employees’ ability to respond effectively in critical situations. When staff have the knowledge and confidence to act quickly and correctly during a fire, the consequences—both human and financial—are dramatically reduced. This combination of competence and mastery is essential for safety and business continuity.
