I’m sure if most of us were asked to name a famous plumber, a certain computer game character would spring to mind.
The clever people at Train4Trade Skills have taken this association one step further by creating a virtual reality house where trainee plumbers can fix problems that occur in the real world. Burst pipes, overflowing water tanks and leaking radiators can all be tackled without a tool even being touched.
Mike Head, marketing manager for Train4Trade Skills, said: "The virtual house is an important part of our blended learning plumbing course and has been successful in helping students by giving them visual recall of the steps necessary for the skill they are about to undertake. This is a learning technique that students would never be able to experience on a traditional apprenticeship scheme."
