Introduction
Over the last decade, there has been a growing utilisation of robot-assisted surgery, with an eightfold increase relative to laparoscopic techniques for common surgical procedures [Urology has emerged at the forefront of robotic surgery adoption, with Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) accounting for 89% of radical prostatectomy procedures in England between 2018 and 2019 compared to 5% laparoscopic and 6% open [For novice robotic surgeons, robot-assisted surgery comprises difficult technical skills that require specialist training with a steep learning curve. Robotic surgery training has lacked standardisation, and the current model mainly consists of apprenticeship learning with variability in trainer skill and teaching method [The Fundamentals of Robotic Surgery (FRS) is the current accredited proficiency-based robotic training curriculum [Virtual classroom training (VCT) is a novel training modality that enables the combination of computer-based learning, with concurrent expert instruction and live interactive feedback via synchronous video communication [
