LearnPro Group has announced the acquisition of key immersive training products and technologies from RiVR (Reality in Virtual Reality Ltd.), marking a major expansion of the Group’s virtual reality learning capabilities across emergency services, healthcare, defence, industrial and wider safety‑critical sectors.

The deal includes the innovative ‘Classroom in a Box’ video-based RiVR Link training solution, as well as RiVR Fire Investigate and RiVR Crime Scene Investigate, which rely on advanced photorealistic capture and simulation technologies.

A team of nine specialists responsible for developing and operating these products, led by Bradley Woodward, has now joined LearnPro Group and will continue to work from their existing site in Southam, Warwickshire, as an integrated part of LearnPro Group’s global business operations.

“RiVR has earned a reputation for producing exciting immersive training tools and content to support a range of use cases across emergency, health, public and other high-risk settings. By bringing these innovations into LearnPro Group, we’re accelerating our mission to provide the most advanced, flexible, and impactful learning ecosystem available today.”

Costi Karayannis, CEO, LearnPro Group.

With this acquisition, LearnPro Group significantly strengthens its ability to deliver immersive, scenario‑based learning experiences, adding the complementary RiVR platform to its XVR simulation suite.

“Joining LearnPro Group allows us to take the technologies we’ve built to the next level. This partnership gives our team the resources, reach, and strategic alignment we need to accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value to customers. It’s an exciting next step.”

RiVR’s Bradley Friend Woodward.

LearnPro Group is exhibiting at The Emergency Services Show 2026, taking place from 16-17 September at the NEC in Birmingham. You can find them on Stand D100. Register your interest to attend here.
