Gallagher Security Launches Augmented Reality Training Course In Australia.
Gallagher Security Launches Augmented Reality – Gallagher Security has announced the launch of its new Augmented Reality Hardware Installer course in Australia, allowing installers to learn 4x faster than they would in a traditional classroom environment.
The AR Hardware Installer course is a a trainer-led 1-day programme designed to deliver hands-on access hardware installation training using immersive AR. Bookings open on 1 April 2026, with the first courses scheduled to run from 23 June 2026.
Danielle Mitchell, training manager for APAC and IMEA, said the new course adds a practical installation component to Gallagher’s existing hardware training.
“While hardware training with Gallagher has traditionally been delivered through high quality theory, the introduction of AR courses now allows technicians to apply that knowledge in a realistic, hands-on environment before they step onto a customer site,” she said.
According to Mitchell, the course allows participants to work with virtual access hardware items, simulate controller cabinet installation and test cardholder events in environments designed to reflect field conditions. Each session is trainer-led and limited to 4 participants.
“The new AR Hardware Installer course gives participants the ability to handle virtual Access Hardware items, simulate controller cabinet installation, and test out cardholder events in environments that mirror real-world conditions,” she explained. “Each session is delivered by a trainer and kept to a group of 4, ensuring high levels of interaction, guidance, and support.”
Mitchell said the course has been designed for technicians focused on access hardware installation and is intended to build familiarity before site deployment.
“The course has been designed for technicians who focus on access hardware installation,” she explained. “Technicians can build confidence and installation accuracy well before arriving on site, helping partners reduce errors, minimise rework, and shorten onboarding time.”
Gallagher’s decision to introduce AR into its training programme was supported by research into learning outcomes.
“Research into AR training shows that learners train up to 4 times faster than in traditional classrooms, show a 90 per cent increase in engagement, feel up to 3 times more confident applying their skills, and experience significantly less skill fade over time,” Mitchell said.
“This strongly aligns with Gallagher’s goal of strengthening practical readiness among technicians.”
Craig Schutte, executive vice president for APAC and IMEA, said the new course forms part of Gallagher’s broader training programme for channel partners in Australia.
“The launch of the AR Hardware Installer course is an important step in expanding Gallagher’s training ecosystem and reflects our ongoing investment in modern, engaging, and effective learning solutions for Channel Partners across Australia,” Schutte said.
Bookings for the AR hardware installer course will be available through Security Hub from 1 April 2026, with delivery beginning 23 June 2026 – you can learn more about Gallagher Security’s new AR Hardware Installer course here or read more SEN news here.
