The new training centre expands on the eLearning and in person training options previously offered through the United Academy and incorporates Virtual Reality simulation of platform operations from Serious Labs, VR simulation of crane operations from Industrial Training International, a computer lab, eLearning content that satisfies OSHA requirements, a digital training library and hands-on training. 

Jim Colvin of Serious Labs said: “Serious Labs, United Rentals and the broader equipment rental industry share the goal of safe worksites and well-trained operators. We are pleased to make our technology available to the North American industry as part of United Academy’s best in class training methodologies.”
