Is the FLS all-in-one trainer system portable and easy to use in a training center?
Yes, the All-in-One Trainer allows for multiple teaching scenarios.
Used independently from the SimCart, the FLS box weighs approximately 6kg and can be positioned on any flat surface for use with any existing audio-visual equipment in your facility.
The included SimCart can be set up to be a wheeled mobile unit, which is easily maneuverable around a classroom setting, or, the additional Flat Feet allow for a more permanent and stationary practice space.
