World Skills UK show will feature NDTG's VR simulator

Regular attendees of the World Skills UK, The Skills Show will know all about the National Demolition Training Group VR simulator. And for the third year running it is set to put in another appearance and allow attendees to cause havoc on a (virtual) demolition site.

According to Lead Trainer Iain Kirk:

“The simulator always draws in the crowds. It’s great fun getting young people on the simulator and putting them through their paces. At the same time, we hope to show young people that a career in demolition is a serious option for them leaving school. There are a number of career paths available in demolition and with the new CCDO Card Scheme there’s now a clear and progressive NVQ structure available at all levels from Demolition Apprentice through to Demolition Manager.”

The Skills Show will be held later this week at the NEC in Birmingham between November 17-19. You can book your tickets at The Skills Show website.

Demolition Plant Simulator on show at NEC in November

From Thursday 14th November to Saturday 16th November The Skills Show will be underway at the NEC in Birmingham. It's a showcase of vocational training, skills, and careers in the UK and attracts people from across all fields including the demolition industry.

Anyone visiting the show is in for a treat as the NFDC and NDTG are working with the CITB to promote the demolition industry to young people as a viable career path. And what better way to do that than to setup the Demolition Plant Simulator, which was previously seen entertaining attendees of the Demolition Expo 2013.


Both the NFDC and NDTG will be on hand to give supervised taster sessions on the simulator for anyone who shows an interest. The entire event is free of charge (although parking is £10 for a day) and representatives will be on hand to give advice and answer questions about the demolition industry.
