Over 73,000 new plumbers will be needed by 2032 to meet UK demand, yet the average British plumber is over 50 and nearing retirement. With apprenticeship drop-out rates at 44% and traditional training taking 3-4 years, the industry faces a perfect storm. TrainAR's AR platform accelerates plumber training by 75%, turning apprentices into productive technicians in months, not years.
Apprentices installing boilers see annotated AR visuals of each connection and safety check, guided by veteran plumber expertise. Immediate feedback prevents errors and builds competence 75% faster than traditional methods.
Preserve the know-how of your best retiring plumbers. Their diagnostic tricks and compliance procedures are recorded and converted into interactive AR training modules for new staff to learn from the masters.
AR guidance ensures correct procedures every time. Mistakes like improperly sealed joints or miswired pumps are caught in real-time, reducing rework and callbacks by 60% while improving safety compliance.
