Hot Work Course

Hot work courses at Real Training combine e-learning with approved VR extinguishing exercises—eco-friendly and realistic. You will receive a hot work certificate from the Norwegian Fire Protection Association (Norsk Brannvernforening), valid for five years, for work involving sparks, heat, or open flames in the workplace.

What makes Real Training different?

We use a VR fire simulator that is officially approved for hot work training. This technology provides realistic training without risk, and we are among the few who offer VR drills using actual extinguishing equipment and fire hoses.

This means participants don't just learn what to do, but actually practice it in situations that resemble their daily work environment. At the same time, the exercise is eco-friendly; no flames, smoke, or chemicals, and zero disruption to operations.

Course Structure

  • Theory: E-learning (approx. 3 hours) covering regulations, risk, and preventive measures.
  • Extinguishing Drill: Practical VR exercise, conducted at Real Training or as a corporate session at your location.
  • Exam: 30 questions in 45 minutes; at least 21 correct answers are required to pass.
  • Documentation: The extinguishing drill is documented and submitted within three months of passing the theory.
  • Certificate: Once theory, the drill, and the exam are approved, you will receive your digital certificate.

What our customers say about us

Every single day, we receive fantastic feedback from participants and managers stating that the training is more realistic, educational, and efficient than traditional drills. See a selection of the feedback below.

Fantastic!

"Fantastic! Practical extinguishing drills for 131 employees without affecting the nursing home's daily operations. They attended the drill when it suited them, either individually or in small groups—practiced firefighting with VR and went straight back to work. All without overtime or the need for temporary staff."

Susanne Wollasch

Sande Nursing and Treatment Center

Brilliant invention

"Extremely effective and easy to understand! When a fire broke out during a broadcast, I knew exactly what to do and extinguished it before it grew. It was exactly like practicing with the VR equipment."

Ingrid Gjessing Linhave

NRK Program Host

A fantastic tool that offers more than traditional drills

"Now, healthcare personnel can experience a fire in a patient room. They experience how easy it is to extinguish while the fire is small, and how much more difficult it becomes once the fire spreads and fills the room with smoke."

Jan Eriksen

Vestre Viken Health Trust
