The British Academy for Training and Development offers this training program titled "The Use of Virtual Reality in Education and Interactive Experiences", which aims to enable participants to understand the theoretical foundations and key concepts of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and their role in developing modern learning environments.

The program focuses on analyzing theoretical frameworks and current trends in the application of these technologies in education, as well as reviewing global best practices. It also contributes to enhancing the quality of the educational process by deepening understanding of how to design interactive experiences from both a scientific and strategic perspective, without focusing on technical implementation, but rather on conceptual and methodological aspects.
