Lyon Training Center: 90% Savings with CERTIFROID VR

01. The Challenge

Lyon Technical Training Center was training 150 students/year in refrigeration with 5 physical benches costing €25,000. The problems: queuing, fluid leaks impacting annual declarations, high maintenance costs, and limitation to 1 student per bench.

Identified Issues

• Limited capacity: 5 benches for 150 students = constant queuing
• Hidden costs: Leaks, consumables, maintenance represented €8,000/year
• Environmental impact: Uncontrolled leaks during training
• F-Gas compliance: Difficulties with new R290/R600a fluids

02. The VR Solution

CERTIFROID VR deployed 20 VR headsets (€6,000 total) replacing the 5 physical benches. Complete Cat. I-IV training with R290, R600a, R600, R717 scenarios.

Implementation

• Phase 1: Trainer training (2 days)
• Phase 2: Progressive deployment over 1 month
• Phase 3: Complete integration into curriculum

03. Exceptional Results

• Dramatic savings: 90% reduction in equipment and maintenance costs
• Multiplied capacity: Entire class (20 students) trains simultaneously
• Zero environmental impact: No more leaks during training
• Success rate: 100% F-Gas certifications (vs 85% before)

04. Testimonial

"CERTIFROID VR has transformed our pedagogical approach. Our students master technical gestures without stress, can repeat exercises as many times as necessary, and approach new flammable fluids safely. The investment paid for itself in 6 months."
