• Learning and Development Activities:

C1 - Learning and Training Activities:
>> The capacity building activity of Train the Trainers targets to promote an effective exchange of good practices;
>> VET trainers/experts will increase their knowledge on the development of materials for the theoretical part, and AR/VR tools for the practical part of PBF_LB Operators training;
>> Capacitated VET Trainers/Experts with the knowledge need to deliver Metal AM Operators training for PBF-LB;
>> VET Trainers/Experts apply developed contents and tools in their countries and VET centres.

A1 - Research Analysis:
>> Connect to the needs’ assessment associated to the remote delivery of the Metal AM Operator for PBF-LB qualification by using AR and VR training environments;
>> Targets to present needs associated with the delivery of the Metal AM Operator for PBF_-LB qualification by using AR/VR training environments;
>> Identify the percentage of training to be delivered presential and remotely as well as which skills can be acquired through AR/VR tools.

A2 - Development of the Metal AM PBF-LB Operator Training Tools and Blended Learning Guideline:
>> Related to the development of the training tools for the Metal AM PBF-LB Qualification, focused on AR/VR and Blended-learning;
>> Addresses development of materials to deliver PBF-LB Operator Theoretical and Practical tools as well as Blended Learning Guideline for Implementation.
