LearnPro Group Acquires RiVR

The deal includes the innovative “Classroom in a Box” video-based RiVR Link training solution, as well as RiVR Fire Investigate and RiVR Crime Scene Investigate, which rely on advanced photorealistic capture and simulation technologies.

A team of nine specialists responsible for developing and operating these products, led by Bradley Woodward, has now joined LearnPro Group and will continue to work from their existing site in Southam, Warwickshire, as an integrated part of LearnPro Group’s global business operations.

With this acquisition, LearnPro Group significantly strengthens its ability to deliver immersive, scenario‑based learning experiences, adding the complementary RiVR platform to its market‑leading XVR simulation suite.

The deal was supported by Elucid Partners’ Paul Turner and James Barraclough, who acted as sell-side corporate finance advisers to RiVR.

LearnPro Group CEO Costi Karayannis commented:

“RiVR has earned a reputation for producing exciting immersive training tools and content to support a range of use cases across emergency, health, public and other high-risk settings. By bringing these innovations into LearnPro Group, we’re accelerating our mission to provide the most advanced, flexible, and impactful learning ecosystem available today.”

RiVR’s Bradley Friend Woodward added:

“Joining LearnPro Group allows us to take the technologies we’ve built to the next level. This partnership gives our team the resources, reach, and strategic alignment we need to accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value to customers. It’s an exciting next step.”

RiVR’s technologies are used across the UK, North America, Asia and Australasia. They combine high-quality video and VR and AR environments—built from real‑world burns, crime scenes, and high‑risk scenarios—enable learners to safely practice complex decision‑making, evidence gathering, and operational procedures with unprecedented realism. In particular, the Classroom in a Box solution, RiVR Link, allows users to build impactful video-based learning in an agile and effective way.

RiVR’s immersive solutions naturally complement XVR's VR simulation platform. Together, these solutions provide a more comprehensive range of products and training experiences that connect theory, simulation, assessment, and real‑world scenario practice.
