How licensing works
Most customers license Avatar Academy per site: one annual licence for a location, with no per-seat charges and no limit on how many operators train. The more of your workforce uses it, the more it returns.
It is not the only route. A bespoke build can run as a project, and some organisations need an arrangement of their own. We shape the licence around how you operate.
Behind every licence sits the same platform, the same content management and the same automatic training records, whether you run one course at one site or train across a global operation.
What shapes your VR training cost
- Off-the-shelf or custom contentReady-made courses from our library are the fastest and most economical route: live in hours, with support included. Simulations of your own procedures are a development project, typically 6 to 16 weeks depending on complexity. See the courses.
- Number of sitesOne facility or a global rollout. Content, users and training records are managed centrally, so adding a site never means rebuilding your training.
- HeadsetsWe can supply Meta Quest headsets as part of your deployment, or you can use your own.
- Where you startSome start with one course for one team, others train across their operation. The first often becomes the second.
What every licence includes
- Technical supportFor the life of your deployment.
- Platform updatesImprovements arrive without a new contract.
- Central content managementAcross all your users and sites.
- Automatic training recordsPerformance tracking for every operator, as evidence before your own sign-off.
- Setup and onboardingConfiguration and onboarding support from our team.
No support tiers, no paid upgrade to unlock reporting, and no surprise line items after deployment.

“We thought the payback would be one year. We brought it down to a couple of months. That is how successful it was.”

The right comparison is not VR against doing nothing. It is Avatar Academy’s VR training cost against what your current training already costs: instructor time, equipment access, production downtime, scrap during onboarding and keeping training records. Our One Bad Shift series shows where those costs hide.
