IndustriesSkilled trades
Skilled trades and construction
Apprentices and students practice setup, safety checks, and the order of work in VR, then spend supervised shop and site time on the parts that need it.
For contractors, unions and apprenticeship programs, CTE schools, and community colleges.
Training today
Rods, wire, pipe, and fuel are used up on every practice run, and a shop only has so many booths.
With fifteen students and one instructor, most mistakes in setup happen when nobody is looking.
Trench collapse, a live circuit, or a swing radius are things you want people to recognize before they see them for real.
With VR practice
Setup and sequence practice uses no rods, wire, pipe, or fuel.
Instructors see each student's checks and settings without standing behind every booth.
Learners recognize the trench, the live circuit, and the swing radius because they have met them in VR.
Module library
Each module follows the work in order and is adapted to your procedures before anyone uses it.
PPE, machine settings, fire watch, and the handoff, before the arc strikes.

Apprentices, new hires, foremen
Consistent practice on safety and setup, so apprentices arrive on site knowing the sequence.
Welding, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and carpentry programs
Students repeat the setup and the sequence before using materials and booth time.
Pre-apprenticeship and career programs
Let people try a trade before committing to a program, and arrive at day one with the basics.
A scenario, step by step
An apprentice is assigned a 3F fillet weld in a shop with cardboard stored near the booth.
Hood, gloves, jacket, and safety glasses on before anything is switched on.
Set amperage inside the procedure range for the rod and position.
Move combustibles out of range and post a fire watch.
Complete the weld, then report anything wrong with the equipment to the next person.
Afterward: The instructor sees each safety check, the settings used, and whether the problem with the equipment was reported.
Analytics and reports
Every action, decision, and word in a module is captured, analyzed against your standard, and reported in the Bubbler Hub. Supervisors see it at five levels.
Watch what the learner sees in the headset from a laptop or tablet, with the current task, step, and progress. The video stream isn’t stored; the session record is.
Every step taken or missed, in order and timed, plus the decisions the learner made and what they said.
Every attempt for each person, so you can see what improved and what still needs another run.
Completion across the group, the steps most people miss, and who needs another attempt or a conversation.
Dated completion reports for each person, as PDF or data files, for training files, audits, and accreditation.
