VR training for London and UK teams
Turn a risky or often-repeated task into a scenario your people rehearse in a headset or browser. Piloted with one team, measured against the training you run today.
Quick answer
VR Express builds custom VR and XR training for companies in London and across the UK: safety and emergency drills, equipment and production procedures, onboarding, and sales or HCP conversation practice. Training runs on standalone Meta Quest headsets or in the browser with WebXR. Each engagement starts with a fixed-price pilot of one scenario with one team, measured against your current training, and we have built immersive training since 2015.
What we build
- Safety and emergency drills that are dangerous or disruptive to practise for real.
- Equipment and production procedures, modelled on your own machines and site.
- Onboarding journeys that show new starters the workplace before day one.
- Conversation practice for sales and medical reps, including an AI doctor simulator for pharma.
- Rescue of older VR training apps that broke after SDK changes, through VR app rescue.
How a UK pilot runs
- Brief: we pick one task worth rehearsing and agree the baseline numbers.
- Build: we script and build the scenario with your subject experts, with review rounds on headset.
- Kick-off in London: headsets arrive preloaded and we run the first sessions with your trainers.
- Readout: completion, errors and time to competence for the VR cohort against your baseline.
Platform or custom build?
Ready-made platforms such as Strivr, PIXO VR or Virti are the fastest choice for topics already in their libraries. A studio build is the better choice when the training is about your product, equipment or procedures. The full five-step method and the trade-offs are on how to train employees with VR, and the cost case is in VR training vs classroom training cost. You can also model the payback with the VR training ROI calculator.

Frequently asked questions
What is VR training?
VR training puts an employee inside a realistic scenario, on a standalone headset or in a web browser, where they rehearse a task until they get it right: a machine procedure, an emergency drill, a difficult customer or doctor conversation. Mistakes cost nothing, every attempt is recorded, and the same scenario runs identically for every new hire.
Do you deliver VR training in London?
Yes. We scope, pilot and roll out VR training for teams in London and across the UK. Scenarios are built in our studio, headsets arrive preloaded, and we run the kick-off and the first sessions on site with your trainers. After that your team runs it, and we support remotely in UK working hours.
Which headsets do you use?
Standalone headsets such as Meta Quest, which need no PC or cables, or WebXR in the browser on phones and laptops when a headset is not practical. We can supply and manage the headsets, or install the training on devices you already own.
Ready-made library or custom build?
Off-the-shelf libraries are the fastest route for generic topics such as fire safety or soft skills. A custom build is worth it when the training is about your own product, equipment, site or procedures, which no library covers. Many clients start with one custom scenario and add library content around it.
How long does it take?
A pilot of one scenario for one team typically takes three to four weeks from brief to the first trainees, and longer when a lot of your equipment or site has to be modelled. Rebranded ready-made modules can be live in one to two weeks.
How do we know it works?
Before the pilot we agree a baseline from your current training: time to competence, error rate, trainer hours or assessment scores. The pilot reports the same numbers for the VR cohort, so the decision to roll out rests on your own data.
What does VR training cost?
It depends on the number of scenarios and how much has to be built from scratch. Ready-made modules rebranded for you cost £850 to £1,700; XR Ready projects start from £5,500; fully custom XR starts from £15,500. Every project starts with a fixed-price pilot, and the pilot price is credited to the full build if you continue.
