Gallagher Launches Augmented Reality Training Courses In Australia.
Gallagher Launches Augmented Reality Training – Gallagher Security has launched the latest addition to its innovative suite of training solutions, Gallagher Augmented Reality Training.
Partnering with Altoura, a leader in immersive training platforms, Gallagher’s first augmented reality training environment is the Gallagher Perimeter Fence Installer Course, which combines cutting-edge technology with Gallagher’s leading perimeter security solutions.
According to Gallagher’s, training solutions engineer, Kirk Jarvis, the company’s foray into learning through an augmented reality environment will revolutionise how Gallagher channel partners interact with its Pulsed Perimeter product.
“We will be taking channel partners on an immersive adventure into all things Gallagher Pulsed Perimeter, from the comfort of their office or home. The significant benefits to our channel partners include real-time guidance, reduced downtime, while negating the need to travel into training facilities.”
Meanwhile senior training engineer, Bennie Pienaar, said the successful creation of the Gallagher Pulse Perimeter fence training in the Gallagher Augmented Reality environment sets a firm foundation for developing more AR training in Gallagher’s other training verticals.
“The module is developed to experience practical Pulsed Perimeter fence construction and configuration, while learning the Gallagher fundamentals required to build a Pulsed Perimeter fence,” Pienaar said.
Following on from Gallagher Virtual Classroom launched in 2023, augmented reality training demonstrates Gallagher’s continued evolution in the training space, providing improved access and hands-on training to its channel partners across the globe.
Work began in mid-2023 with the Gallagher training team identifying the perimeter course as the first to be developed. While Gallagher Virtual Classroom enabled channel partners to access trainer-led courses remotely, reliance on trainer travel and kit movement proved a barrier in meeting the growing demand for perimeter training.
According to Gallagher Security’s executive vice president for Asia Pacific and India, Middle East, and Africa (APAC and IMEA), Craig Schutte, over the past 2 years, 1700 APAC and IMEA channel partners have been certified in access courses, while a smaller percentage of technicians have received perimeter product certification due to the reliance on providing physical equipment for training.
“We’re committed to improving those numbers and offering greater support and training opportunities for our channel partners,” Schutte said. “This new AR will help us do that.”
“The focus of our training team is to continue delivering world class training and workplace development opportunities that empower our channel partners and end users, regardless of where they are located.
“Augmented reality training will create increased opportunities for our channel partners and allow us to offer the same convenience as online and virtual classroom training while creating a more immersive and interactive learning experience.”
Bookings are now open for Gallagher Augmented Reality Training and the Gallagher Perimeter Fence Installer Course across Australia, with further rollout throughout APAC and IMEA to follow.
