SHIIFT designs training solutions using technologies like VR, AR, Video, Animation, eLearning or Interactive Media to improve workplace learning outcomes.

Our training solutions are completely bespoke and tailored to any company in any industry. We've worked to create our custom solutions across various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, transportation, energy, healthcare, and construction.

We follow a clear process: consultation, proposal, storyboard and planning, development, testing, and deployment.

The client is involved at every stage whether we need to gather resources or have feedback rounds to make sure you know exactly what you are getting and are satisfied with the product.

We’re based in London UK, Houston US, and Abu Dhabi UAE. We regularly work with clients around the world since most of our work can be delivered and supported remotely.

Clients have reported improvements in retention, reduction in training time, better engagement, and increased safety compliance. Some clients have even successfully saved millions of dollars in savings as a result of our training solutions.

No. While many of our training solutions are VR-based, we always choose the most effective training solution for each client, which could include video production, 3d/2d animation, web/desktop simulations, or interactive eLearning.

Yes. All our content is tailored to reflect your specific processes, work environments, safety protocols, and branding.

Yes! This is actually encouraged so that your training reflects your real operations and feels familiar to your workforce. We incorporate your existing procedures, documents, safety protocols, branding, and reference materials into the training.

Absolutely. Most of our digital solutions whether web/desktop-based or VR-based can integrate with learning management systems or operate as standalone applications.

Many of our simulations are deployed directly on our client's LMS with progress tracking and customizable data tracked for their employees learning needs.

We can track completion rates, decision-making, time on task, accuracy, and other performance metrics. These can be exported, integrated with your LMS, or used to inform future training decisions.

Depending on scope, it can take from a few weeks to several months. We provide a clear timeline during the proposal phase.

We can provide access to selected demo modules and showcase some of our past examples that are relevant to your industry. These help illustrate what’s possible and what level of interactivity and realism you can expect.

Yes. We often start with smaller pilot modules to validate the solution and gather feedback before scaling.

We can support you with data, case studies, cost-benefit insights, and tailored presentations that clearly communicate the value of VR training to stakeholders and decision-makers.

Virtual Reality (VR) training uses a fully immersive digital environment delivered through a headset. Learners can move, interact, and practice tasks in a lifelike 3D space without real-world risks. It’s especially effective for high-risk, hands-on, or procedural training where safety, repetition, and muscle memory are key.

We have a detailed article explaining VR training more deeply here.

Augmented Reality (AR) training overlays digital content onto the real world through devices like tablets, phones, or AR glasses. It allows users to interact with virtual instructions, diagrams, or 3D models while still seeing their physical environment. AR is useful for guiding real-time tasks, step-by-step procedures, and maintenance support.

We have a detailed article explaining AR training more deeply here.

360 video provides an immersive viewing experience but is passive, so users can look around but can’t interact with what's around them very much.

Fully interactive VR allows users to move, make decisions, complete tasks, and receive feedback, which creates a more hands-on, effective training experience.

We typically recommend the Meta Quest line due to its standalone capabilities, ease of use, and being the most cost-effective. If you're interested in exploring other VR/AR headsets, this article offers a great comparison of the other top picks.

VR training improves knowledge retention, enhances engagement, and allows for safe repetition of high-risk or complex tasks. It reduces onboarding time, supports standardization across sites, and often lowers overall training costs by minimizing downtime and errors.

Here is a comprehensive list of benefits with examples of the benefits of VR training.

Costs vary based on complexity, content length, interactivity, and hardware. We offer scalable solutions and can provide a custom quote after understanding your requirements.

We also have a super in-depth article explaining all the costs of VR training and what companies can expect before investing into a VR training for their team.

VR training offers immersive, hands-on learning that traditional methods like lectures or manuals can’t match. It allows users to safely practice procedures in a controlled environment, repeat tasks as needed, and engage with content actively. This leads to faster skill acquisition, better retention, and reduced risk compared to classroom or on-the-job training.

Here is a detailed side-by-side comparison of VR vs Traditional Training.

If your team faces high-risk scenarios, struggles with engagement, or needs to standardize hands-on training, VR may be the right fit. We can help assess your needs and recommend the best approach.

We have an in-depth guide explaining where VR training excels the most to help our clients understand what would work for their training needs.

Getting started is simple. Contact us to schedule a discovery session. We’ll learn about your training goals, challenges, and existing materials. From there, we’ll recommend the right approach, provide a proposal, and begin our development process once you’re ready.
