St John Ambulance delivers Australia’s leading CPR & First Aid accredited training program.

Accessed via VR, mobile & desktop they have gained market share, increased knowledge retention and reduced training time by 50%.

The St John Ambulance Victoria SJx multi-platform training solution was launched in 2019. Since its inception, the program has delivered thousands of fully accredited graduates each month.

The solution is fully integrated into St John Ambulance Victoria's existing customer solutions systems and allows for a seamless process for the student from registration through to graduation and receipt of their certification.

The course combines 360° & 2D videos of real-life emergency scenarios combined with interactive quizzes to create a powerful and immersive training program. Plus, the accompanying trainer app manages student attendance & assessment, course playback and official certification.

The St John training solution was recently featured on Australia's No.1 breakfast television show, Sunrise.

The modular format of the program allows St John Ambulance the flexibility to deliver a range of training programs along with a mix-and-match selection of elective and specialist subjects. This modular approach extends to course updates which can be quickly implemented without the need for extensive or time-consuming additional development.

The program includes classroom, remote access and pre-learning modules delivered via mobile, desktop and VR devices. The range of VR training solutions includes small to large group immersion courses with St John Ambulance trainers using the uniquely designed trainer app to manage student attendance, pre-learning activity and student results. 

The success of the program has led to St John Ambulance extending the program from Victoria only to a national rollout implemented Australia-wide.
