Mobile Training Unit

When operating in a developing country or location with social, domestic and security issues, training is not at the top of your priority list. Time is of the essence and allowing your personnel time off to undergo training can disrupt your business or operational obligations. We appreciate training is sometimes pushed to the side and time frames take priority. With this in mind SSDS provides an innovative approach to training in hostile and remote environments in the form of mobile training units (MTU).

Through this system you’re operation or business will benefit tremendously from continuously being operational receiving the specific training program required within a scheduled time frame suited to your business or operational requirements. This system allows the (MTU) to travel to each of your facilities or operational bases providing the required training without disrupting to your whole network. The (MTU) system provides you with the ability to continue with your schedule or business objectives without hindering your operations from inadequate staffing.

The (MTU) system is predominantly designed for Government, Private and Commercial entities with multiple facilities, compounds or operational bases.
