TrainAR

TrainAR is the AR training platform built for the trades. It captures real-world expertise from experienced engineers and delivers it as live mixed reality guidance to apprentices and recruits - right when and where they need it.

Experienced engineers are retiring faster than new ones can be trained. Traditional classroom learning does not translate well to real job sites. TrainAR bridges that gap by letting senior professionals record and share their knowledge through augmented reality, so the next generation learns from the best - on the tools, not just in theory.

HOW IT WORKS

Trainers wear AR-enabled smart glasses on real jobs. TrainAR captures their point-of-view actions, voice notes and decisions as structured training content. When an apprentice faces the same task, they receive step-by-step mixed reality overlays guiding them through the process - with the trainer's actual expertise layered onto the real world in front of them.

BUILT FOR THE TRADES, BY THE TRADES

TrainAR was founded by a qualified gas engineer and plumber who spent years on the tools before building technology to solve the problems he saw first-hand. Every feature is designed around how tradespeople actually work - not how software companies think they work.
