Why Veteran Training Lab

Move beyond slides and static worksheets.

Students learn industrial technology by interacting with it. Veteran Training Lab turns technical concepts into visual, responsive training experiences that make cause and effect visible.

I/O

Interactive

Operate controls, change values, test logic, watch signals move, and immediately see what the system does.

PLC

Industry-focused

Training is organized around industrial electrical, automation, PLC, safety, code, and technician-level concepts.

EDU

Built for teaching

Designed from an instructor's perspective: demonstrate a concept to a class, then let learners explore it themselves.

Training Library

A growing family of interactive training arenas.

Start with PLCs and expand into electrical code, safety, theory, and exam preparation.

FLAGSHIP

PLC Training Arena

Interactive PLC instruction from Boolean logic through sequencing and troubleshooting.

  • Ladder logic, logic gates & Boolean conversion
  • Timers, counters, comparators & one-shots
  • MOV, analog scaling, SQO, BSL/BSR
  • I/O addressing, program flow & troubleshooting

TRAINING ARENA

NEC Code Arena

Interactive NEC study built around code navigation, application, challenges, explanations, and exam preparation.

  • Article-focused study
  • Code challenges and exam simulation
  • Find-it-in-the-Code practice
  • Edition-aware training
SAFETY

NFPA 70E Safety Arena

Electrical safety concepts brought to life through interactive scenarios, LOTO, shock, arc-flash, and fault-current training.

  • Field scenarios and safety decisions
  • LOTO simulation
  • Arc-flash and shock concepts
  • Fault-current learning lab
EDUCATION

Electrical Theory & Exam Prep

Interactive circuit theory and technical exam-preparation tools designed to reinforce classroom instruction.

  • DC and AC circuit concepts
  • Transformers and industrial controls
  • Visual meters and calculations
  • Technical exam preparation

For Technical Education

Useful at the projector, useful at the student's desk.

Veteran Training Lab is being built for the way CTE and industrial training actually happens: demonstrate a concept, let learners manipulate it, then reinforce the lesson through challenge and troubleshooting.

01

Instructor Demonstration

Use large, visual simulations to explain PLC scans, ladder logic, electrical relationships, sequencing, safety concepts, and troubleshooting in front of a class.

02

Guided Practice

Let learners change values, operate controls, observe cause and effect, and connect calculations or logic to visible system behavior.

03

Challenge & Review

Reinforce concepts with interactive problems, diagnostic scenarios, exam preparation, and increasingly independent troubleshooting.

Founder Story

Built by a veteran. Built by an educator.

Veteran Training Lab was founded by Brandin Perkins, a U.S. Navy veteran and career technical educator with more than 24 years of CTE teaching experience.

During his Navy service, Perkins worked as a combat systems technician specializing in the NATO SeaSparrow system and completed multiple operational deployments. That technical background was followed by more than two decades in career and technical education, teaching students to understand electrical systems, industrial controls, automation, and related technologies.

Veteran Training Lab grew from the intersection of those two worlds: disciplined technical training and the day-to-day reality of teaching difficult concepts. The goal is to turn abstract material into something learners can operate, test, visualize, troubleshoot, and understand.

From technical service to technical education.
Training designed to help learners see what the system is doing—and understand why.

The VTL Approach

See it. Operate it. Understand it.

The platform is designed around visible cause and effect rather than passive content consumption.

SEE IT

Animated current paths, PLC states, timers, counters, waveforms, machinery, safety conditions, and calculations make invisible technical processes visible.

OPERATE IT

Push buttons, change presets, move sliders, alter logic, create faults, and interact with the same concepts an instructor is explaining.

UNDERSTAND IT

Immediate feedback connects the learner's action to the underlying electrical, logical, mathematical, or safety principle.

FAQ

Questions before launch?

Is Veteran Training Lab a replacement for an instructor?

No. The platform is designed to strengthen instruction, demonstration, practice, and independent review—not replace qualified instructors or required hands-on laboratory training.

Who is the training designed for?

Electrical and industrial technology students, apprentices, technicians, instructors, workforce programs, technical colleges, and other learners working with industrial electrical and automation concepts.

Does the platform provide official certification?

Not unless a specific product explicitly states otherwise. Training tools are educational resources and should not be represented as certification from NFPA, OSHA, NOCTI, Rockwell Automation, or other third parties.

Will institutional licensing be available?

Yes. Department and institutional licensing is part of the commercial plan. Final access limits, purchasing terms, and pricing will be published before enrollment opens.

When can I subscribe?

Commercial subscription checkout is being prepared. This launch site establishes the product catalog and licensing structure while payment and account systems are connected.
