About AVRT

People who protect others should train as close to the real thing as possible.

AVRT is the Adaptive Virtual Reality Training system, built to help military, police and other high-risk organisations prepare for the moments that matter, without the cost, risk and logistics of doing it all live. We are a UK company based in Basildon, Essex.

Chapter 01 · Brief

What we believe, in three lines

01

I’ve always believed that the quality of someone’s training shouldn’t be determined by the size of their organisation’s budget. The people we rely on to protect us deserve the opportunity to prepare for the situations they may face, however challenging or unpredictable.

We developed AVRT because we saw an opportunity to change the way people train. By removing many of the costs and practical limitations of traditional training, we can give military and law enforcement personnel the opportunity to train more often, experience realistic scenarios and develop the confidence and judgement needed to make the right decisions under pressure.

For me, AVRT has never been about technology for technology’s sake. It’s about making realistic, effective training accessible and affordable, and ultimately helping those who protect us to be better prepared when it really matters

Objective

Train for the moments that matter

Prepare people for the hardest situations before they face them, without the cost, risk and logistics of doing it all live.

Method

Free-roam, wireless, real-feel.

No controllers, no buttons to learn and no menus to interrupt the learning. Real-feel weapons and equipment, with the instructor in control.

 

Objective

Alongside live training, never a shortcut.

Used where the data supports it, as one more tool in the instructor’s kit.

Chapter 03 · Assess

Tested with the people who use it

Our law enforcement system was shaped by feedback from over 80% of UK police forces, and has been trialled successfully at four of them.

"I can’t believe just how immersive the VR environments are."

"It’s great how we are able to draw and holster weapons in our operational holsters."

Every replay shows shot placement, distances, reaction times and biometric data, so the review is as useful as the training.

Chapter 04 · Adapt

Your curriculum, our platform

AVRT delivers the curricula and frameworks our customers already use, so trainers apply the skills they already have.

04

Live Control

Change the scenario while it runs.

Instructors adjust character behaviour, aggression, actions and even the lighting, live, or let AI-driven scenarios run to completion.

YOUR CURRICULA

No costly changes to your content.

The system works out of the box with established frameworks, from the National Decision Model to military drills.

SECURE NETWORK

Self-contained and portable.

Runs on its own secure network, fits in a few hard cases, and any reasonably sized space becomes a training venue.
