Better Than Reality

The future of workplace training is here. Save your company time and money, and get skilled Heavy Duty Equipment Technicians into the field faster.

BTR is a unique training experience for new and existing mechanics

The BTR virtual reality training experience is all about delivering exceptional employment outcomes and improving return-on-investment for businesses. With our groundbreaking technology, businesses save time and money.
Companies have 24/7 access to training assets so technicians can train anywhere at any time, removing the need for expensive physical workshops.
