Trainor is known as the Nordic's leader in professional training for electrical safety and explosion safety, and has over 30 years of experience in developing both traditional teaching and digital courses for professionals. From a small entrepreneurial company in the nineties, the company has grown into an international group with over 100 employees, offices in both Norway and Sweden, and a large portfolio of advanced and high-tech courses created in the well-known game engine Unreal Engine.

Amanda is the Head of Learning Experience at Trainor, and serves as the team leader for the entire e-learning team. The team works closely with the teaching department in Trainor, where experienced instructors contribute with their professional expertise in electrical safety, explosion safety and automation.

Creates good learning experiences

The International E-learning Award is presented annually by The International E-learning Association, and recognizes the best use of technology to improve learning and job performance in companies or through individual professional development. The fact that Trainor receives an award for E-learning experience is the result of several years of tireless work to ensure high quality, learning outcomes and desire to learn in an industry where safety is paramount and the right competence is important. 

- Our ambition is to set a new standard for safety training. Good professionals deserve good training. And now we have received an international recognition that our course experience is incredibly good, Amanda concludes satisfied.

Trainor was rewarded for the course "Safe behavior in hazardous areas", which is aimed at all personnel who are to perform work in or near areas with a potential explosion hazard. These can be, for example, petrol stations, factories, oil platforms, tankers, silos and the like.
