Cineon Training was founded in 2016 by a consortium of academics, nuclear industry consultants and media production experts. Consultants from the UK Nuclear Industry identified a need for more effective Human Performance training within nuclear and other sectors. Cineon Training is a collaboration between the University of Exeter and Cineon Productions ltd.

The overall aim of this collaboration has been to augment and enhance immersive human factors training content, developed by Cineon Training, with the research findings from Dr Vine’s team at the University of Exeter.

Using Virtual Reality simulation, in conjunction with more traditional methods, we aim to improve the training of techniques and principles of human factors that are critical for success (risk management, dealing with pressure, team-work, communication).

We utilise an ‘Evidence Based’ approach to the production and application of training content which is a departure from the traditional training techniques deployed by high-risk industries. This approach, which has already been adopted by the aviation industry, is considered more effective due to the fact that it makes use of up to date research and novel training techniques.
