About Our Training

Train4TradeSkills offer the only trade training skills courses that combine three great ways to learn. We use a blend of book-based learning with thoroughly researched coursework, PC based `e-learning’ with access to our unique 3D Virtual Reality House, followed by practical training in fully equipped workshops.

Step 1 - Book based learning

Once you’ve signed up for your Train4TradeSkills course, you’ll be assigned to tutor team who will oversee your progress, keep track of your achievements and be at the end of an e-mail or phone to help you when you get stuck. Each course itself is carefully planned to enable you to work through the subjects required to achieve industry accreditation, independently, at your own pace and in easy to manage stages.

At the end of each section, you’ll complete Assignments, which you send to the tutor team for marking and guidance, before moving on to the next section. And if at any time you find a subject tricky, you can just go back over it, until you’re confident with your knowledge.

Step 2 - Virtual Reality E-learning

Having achieved the initial stages of the course theory, e-learning is introduced into each of the courses, using highly advanced `serious computer games technology’ to enable you to practice your skills in a virtual reality house, on your own PC. The great advantage of learning through this highly visual, interactive training system is that the training is more memorable, it’s engaging and it’s fun!

By guiding the cursor through the rooms of the virtual house you can diagnose and repair faults, from a leaking radiator to a household appliance that keeps fusing, then check the results of your work with the fault finding report. Get it right and you can move on, if you get a lower score, you can try the exercise all over again, without risk or cost to you or your `customer’. Virtual Reality E-learning allows you to:


Enhance your knowledge and understanding
Enable you to learn in your own time and pace
Ability to explain complicated messages and topics via advanced visuals, animations and virtual reality techniques
Users will be able to learn in a safe environment
Build confidence in your capabilities about the studied subject matter
Be able to establish achievable personal targets and focus on outcomes
Uplifting your exam pass-rates
To consolidate your theoretical knowledge prior to undertaking practical workshop exercises

Step 3 - Practical Training

A key part of Train4TradeSkills blended learning skills training is the opportunity to try out newly learnt skills in a fully equipped, workshop environment, with the guidance of enthusiastic and qualified professional tutors.

Once you’ve progressed through the various modules and e-learning exercises, you’ll be invited to attend practical, hands-on training in workshops in key locations in the UK. Your training will take place in life-size room sets, replicating bathrooms, kitchens and other domestic settings, to give you as realistic as possible insight into working in the real world. And because you’ll have had the chance to practice in the virtual `house’, by the time you get to the workshops, you’re far more likely to get it right first time, every time.
