For trade business owners

Trainees who pay their way
from day one.

An AI-powered mentor that walks new trainees through a real job
and makes them productive from their first day.

So they can go out alone sooner. stop ringing your best engineer. ask instead of guessing. follow your method, not a generic course. see the next step in front of them. find the fault code without a tablet. keep both hands on the work. sign the job off without the paperwork.

What TrainAR does

Give a new trainee the glasses.
The AI already knows the job.

It's an AI mentor, not a video: they ask, and it answers.

  1. A new starter standing idle, not yet able to work on his own
    The problem

    New starters take too long to get going

    So most firms don't take them on.

  2. Blueprint of trade equipment: a boiler, a consumer unit, a cylinder, pipework and manuals TrainAR smart glasses
    What we built

    An AI mentor trained on the trades

    Inside a pair of smart glasses.

    What changes

    On real jobs from day one

    Guided step by step.

    • Heating
    • Plumbing
    • Electrics
    • And more
What the numbers mean

Every trainee has a
break-even point.

We compare a trainee with an experienced engineer: how much of the same work do they get done?

  1. 28%A first-year trainee today. Every hour, they cost you more than they bring in.
  2. 42%Break-even. Their work covers their wage and the time your engineer spends with them.
  3. up to 78%With TrainAR. Guided on real jobs from day one, they get more done, sooner.

A trainee pays
their way at 42%

Of the work an experienced engineer does.

28%: BIS Research Paper 67 (2012). 42%: TrainAR cost model for a first-year apprentice, 2026.
