The immersive training programmes will enable participants to undertake a variety of emergency scenarios, ranging from minor to major, and ensure that they understand how to respond appropriately at each stage of an incident. The learning points and replication of dangerous scenarios will be generated in collaboration with clients, with the aim of helping participants understand the consequences of certain actions during an emergency response scenario.

By partnering with Evolution XR, JAHEZIYA can offer its world-class emergency response training programmes through a virtual domain, allowing easier access, unique scenario replications and freedom of repetition. As EDGE is a UAE leader in adopting Industry 4.0 technologies, we are delighted to provide innovative training solutions at the forefront of educational technology."
