In many cases, VR training can prepare staff well for different situations. It allows for new and varied training to speed up the learning process. VR also provides the opportunity to train for dangerous and risky tasks or events that occur less frequently such as fire drills, terrorist attacks and other such activities.
Of course, VR cannot replace everything but it can often be an excellent complement to existing training.

Piteå Municipality
How VR can be used to practice movement techniques. Piteå Municipality faced some challenges in training their staff in the field of elderly care. It took time to register, get everyone to actually attend the training and it had a huge impact on normal activities. To make it easier and to be able to train more people quickly, they made a transfer to training in VR. This way, employees can repeat the training several times if required and can also carry it out at their own workplace when they have time and opportunity.
