VR simulators for education
Immersive training adapted to today's labor market demands
July 10, 2025
The educational digital transformation is no longer a future promise, it is a reality in the classrooms of educational institutions. Thanks to virtual reality (VR) simulators, students learn by doing in safe, realistic, and fully immersive environments.
At Invelon, we develop and implement virtual reality solutions applied to the different educational families of vocational training cycles, ranging from simulators in industrial maintenance and automotive to health, electricity, marketing, and occupational risks.
But how does a virtual reality simulator really work, and how are they implemented to prepare students for the real challenges of today's labor market? We tell you about it in this blog.
¿What is a virtual reality simulator and how is it applied in VET?
VR Simulators are technological systems that combine hardware, such as VR glasses, and advanced software to create a simulation of virtual environments in which the user can interact as if they were in real life, but in a safer condition.
In the training environment, they become educational tools based on immersive technology that allow students to practice technical skills through interactive experiences.
Using VR glasses and controllers, they can perform tasks such as machinery assembly, electrical fault detection, occupational risk prevention training, or forklift maneuvers, in a completely safe environment, without the risks of the physical world.
Innovative educational tool for training
Virtual reality simulators make it possible to accurately reproduce real environments and procedures, making it possible for users to practice virtually in an immersive and effective way. This is especially useful for:
- Training centers: VR simulators allow them to offer practical training without relying on costly physical resources or risks associated with certain tasks.
- Instructors: They acquire a new tool that makes it possible to explain complex concepts virtually and interactively, with precise monitoring of each student's progress.
- Users: It offers them the opportunity to face complex real scenarios without risk, gaining confidence and developing essential skills for their future.
Our virtual reality simulators
At Invelon we develop a wide range of VR simulators for vocational training, divided into educational families. Each of them is designed to meet the real needs of its sector.
In addition, they are fully customizable and adaptable to the training plans of each center.

A new way to learn by doing
Our virtual reality simulators offer everything needed for a complete learning experience, allowing students to perform tasks step by step, receiving immediate feedback thanks to:
Immersive scenarios: Virtual recreations of work environments that simulate real situations.
Hands-on interaction: Manipulable virtual objects and tools that replicate physical world processes.
Step-by-step guidance: Guided and structured instructions within the virtual environment to facilitate learning.
Immediate feedback: Real-time performance tracking and error detection.
Personalization: Scenarios and activities are adaptable to the educational center's needs, its instructors, or learner profile.
Key advantages of using virtual reality in VET
These immersive tools offer several key benefits for students, allowing them to make the most of the educational experience:
Increased comprehension and retention
Immersion in virtual environments facilitates learning as students experience content interactively, improving memorization and long-term comprehension.
Safe and realistic training
VR simulators allow complex or dangerous procedures to be practiced without physical risks, providing a hands-on experience in a controlled environment that accurately simulates real-life situations.
Gamified and motivating learning
Virtual reality turns learning into a playful and interactive experience, keeping students more motivated and engaged thanks to the gaming component and constant challenge.
Savings in materials and times
By simulating scenarios, costs in physical resources are considerably reduced and teaching time is optimized, allowing fully customized instant replays.
Accurate and personalized assessment
VR simulators collect real-time data on student performance, allowing objective evaluations, identifying areas for improvement, and adapting the pace of learning to each student.
Preparation for the future
The integration of emerging technologies in the education sector prepares students to face the challenges of today's job market, familiarizing them with innovative tools already in use in key sectors such as health, engineering, and industry.
How to integrate simulators in my educational center?
At Invelon we develop and integrate technological solutions to transform training in educational centers of reference. Our goal is to easily incorporate virtual reality into each training session, maximizing its impact on students.
Therefore, we offer a centralized service, accompanying vocational training centers at each stage of the process of integrating these technologies, adapting to the objectives and particular needs of each one.
We intend to offer the necessary tools to train their students for the demands of today's labor market.
