LearnPro Group exhibiting at Emergency Services Show 2023

LearnPro Group will be exhibiting at the Emergency Services Show on the 19th & 20th of September in Birmingham NEC. Stop by stand J150 for a chat, a demo of our full product suite – or to test your mettle in our VR Game Experience!

Our staff will be on hand to demonstrate our software platforms from all our brands:

  • pdrPro competence management system
  • learnPro LMS
  • XVR Simulation VR training software

Visitors can also try their hand at two VR “games” developed with XVR On Scene, which will introduce some of the new VR functionalities included in this year’s software release. The winner will be the person who completes both games the fastest at the end of the exhibition – the prize is a donation to a charity of their choice.

LearnPro Group will be sharing our stand with The Simulation Centre from Coventry University, a partner of XVR Simulation, who will be demonstrating their use of our incident command virtual reality software for training and assessing emergency services.

We will be stocked up on interesting use cases, enthusiasm and coffee, and we hope to see you at stand J150!

New pdrPro module improves Operational Assurance

We are delighted to announce a significant addition to the pdrPro competence and operational management suite: The new Operational Assurance module. This module helps your service remain compliant with National Operational Guidance while recording and sharing good operational practice. All data is synced seamlessly from the pdrPro Core System for easy form pre-population.

To adhere to the fire standards specified by the NFCC, the Operational Assurance module covers every area required to ensure that firefighters stay safe and compliant. Below are some of the most important aspects of the National Operational Guidance that are covered by the module.

 

Operational Compliance

You can easily collect incident logs, station audits, debriefs, and staff competence records in one location, pinpointing the current level of operational compliance and helping you become or remain compliant.

 

Operational Training and Development

The module offers a collated overview of all data documenting current competence and future development pathways in pdrPro Core, effortlessly keeping track of your staff’s continuous training and development.

 

Operational Preparedness

Use the module to document and evidence your station’s operational preparedness, including staff, appliances, and equipment. This will help you ensure that your local resources are up-to date-and well-maintained, further improving efficiency and safety when responding to incidents.

 

Operational Learning

Keep track of your station’s operational learning using the module’s closed-loop process to report best practices or any areas of concern. Incidents are assessed and recorded, discussed with the relevant stakeholders, and can be shared internally and externally as needed.

 

The Operational Assurance module is an important addition to the existing framework of the pdrPro and learnPro Core systems. It is a valuable tool that will assist your stations in remaining compliant throughout all levels of command. Make sure that your operations and all operational aspects are properly documented and steadily improving, and contribute to a more efficient method of working.

If you would like to know more about the pdrPro Operational Assurance module, you can download the Operational Assurance Module leaflet. If you have any questions about the Operational Assurance module or pdrPro in general, please reach out to us at info@pdrpro.co.uk.

Vacancy – Technical Product Owner

We are looking for an experienced and capable technical product owner with a systems integration focus to lead the development of a new product stream that will be transformational for the LearnPro Group.

The role will sit between conventional product ownership and systems integration management. We need someone who can hit the ground running to understand a complex area and rapidly develop and document the project requirements before working with various stakeholders to deliver outstanding results. Some of the requirements from this programme will be technical and non-functional so familiarity with systems integrations will be an advantage. Any experience in games development will also be helpful since our core system is a simulation system based on  the Unity games engine.

You will need to run functional workshops and tease out requirements from non-specialists, then document and translate requirements to the level that development teams can understand. In addition, you will create presentations, wireframes and mocked screens as needed – communicating with every part of the business and managing external suppliers. As such, the successful candidate must be self-assured and able to challenge poor UX suggestions from all areas and levels of the organisation, with the CTO and programme steering committee’s backing and support.

Reporting to the CTO and the programme steering group, but supported by the in-house product management team, this role is initially a 1 year contract that we envisage converting to a permanent role if everything works well.

The role will be hybrid with some time in our Delft office and some travel to suppliers and very occasional trips to the programme delivery location in Singapore. The LearnPro Group’s working language is English but the main office is in The Netherlands so fluent Dutch is also a requirement.

Responsibilities

  • Act as product owner and product manager for the new programme within the Production Department team
  • Wrangle all documentation containing existing knowledge and map these to the requirements matrix of the programme
  • Document existing technical architecture of the project environment at a high level
  • Map requirements to technical options, using input from stakeholders involving multiple system suppliers
  • Create well-structured information output for the steering committee and stakeholders
  • Run workshops to elicit requirements within the business and produce user stories, personas, wireframes, prototypes, journey maps, presentations and designs as required
  • Quality check development work with assistance from the test team
  • Champion good UX and design across the business

Skills and Experience

  • Graduate with a computer-related or technical degree, preferably in human factors or UX – but ability is more important than degree background
  • 5+ years’ professional experience working as a product owner or product manager
  • Experience with analysing market opportunity, competitive landscape, and customer needs, conducting research as necessary
  • Experience researching, prototyping, designing, testing and building  web products (preferably web and simulation/games)
  • Must be commercially focused and collaborate well with cross-business stakeholders, clients, and development teams to execute the roadmap on time.
  • Technical understanding of integrations between systems (technical use of different API types, sockets, RPC calls)
  • Enough infrastructure knowledge to understand networking implications of chosen solutions
  • Ability to document complex systems in English
  • Ability to work out the best technical path from competing options
  • Supplier negotiation on requirements and design

Personal Attributes

  • Reliable and diligent
  • Confident and able to challenge poor assumptions without condescending
  • Good attention to detail with a focus on good design
  • Willingness to champion good design and mentor others in best practice
  • Fast learner

What we offer

  • Competitive salary
  • Opportunities to learn new skills
  • Join a sociable and enthusiastic team
  • Help develop amazing products that contribute to a safer world
  • Join a company already operating in 45 countries at an exciting time of growth
  • Hybrid working is possible
