Lift User Course
Your easiest way to the top!
With our digital simulator of a complete wind turbine tower, you can now learn how to assemble, inspect and navigate a lift without ever having to leave the solid ground your feet are on.
Just put on a headset and enjoy the ride! With a year's subscription to our virtual Lift User course, you can refresh your knowledge and train procedures whenever you want, and as many times you need.

"There was no hassle at all because the Kanda team supported us all the way. I have gained a lot of confidence in VR during the program.
It’s great because you get the, almost, physical touch - the graphics are really good and makes it very easy to familiarize yourself with the procedure. This is definitely an exciting upgrade to training."
