3D Industry Training
Online 3D industry training for solar hotwater installation
“It’s often difficult for plumbers to take time away from their clients to upskill. Using online 3D technology lets course enrolees to become familiar with the components and the installation procedure in their own time and their own place before attending the practical and classroom sessions.” Chris Jobson, General Manager, Utilitech.
