This article identifies the main advantages and disadvantages of using VR simulators to improve the professionalism of employees when performing work at an enterprise (organization). An analysis of existing projects used in various industries was carried out. A description of the developed first aid project is presented. The developed simulator allows you to practice skills in eliminating bleeding in different parts of the body: arm, leg, neck. While working on the project, the main factors influencing the quality of the developed VR simulator were identified. Thus, it was found that VR simulators are not capable of fully simulating fine motor skills of the hands. In addition, the simulator has restrictions on the position of the body in space.
