All contractors working at Hinkley Point C, the largest construction project in the UK, will need to pass mandatory induction training before being allowed on site. With more than 25,000 contractors expected, EDF looked to ATS Multimedia to support streamlining this process.

Working closely with the EDF training team, ATS developed an integrated system for registration, training delivery, and assessment. Classroom delegates use iTouch handsets to access learning content in their native language, and the facilitator has a live dashboard tablet app from which to monitor progress and make interventions when required.

At the end of a course, the results are submitted to the existing CRM. The delegates who have passed are automatically issued with passes and permission to enter the construction site.

"The solution provided by ATS has exceeded our expectations on all fronts."

The system design integrates several processes and saves significant time and resources, allowing the contractor to be issued a site pass quicker, in addition to implementing important tools to support an effective audit trail for EDF.

ATS produced professional audio content in multiple languages, designer user interfaces for the delegate, and trainer apps. They also developed the back end CMS, which integrates with existing CRM systems.

This unique perspective to improving learning and engagement through a blend of hardware, software, and creatively produced training content is an opportunity catching the attention of training managers and professionals across a range of sectors.

Spencer Clark, ATS Multimedia, commented, "As creative technologists, we know how to tell stories in memorable ways across different channels. We recognise that our experience in solving museums’ problems connecting to their audiences is something that can work really well in delivering training, and we're excited about this prospect."
