VR Training Pilot Readiness Checklist: Canada
Use this list before asking for a quote. A well-prepared pilot is easier to measure and makes the decision to scale, change or stop clear.
1. Pick the scenario
- Choose one task with a real incident history or a near-miss pattern, not the easiest one to film
- Write down the procedure exactly as it is done today, including the steps people skip
- Name the decision points an assessor would watch for
2. Define the measure
- Agree what success looks like before anything is built, for example fewer critical errors on a practical assessment
- Pick a test cohort and a comparison group trained the current way
- Decide who owns the results and how they reach the training file
3. Check the hardware and site
- Count how many standalone headsets the pilot needs and where they will be charged and cleaned
- Confirm a quiet, clear space of a few square metres per learner
- Check whether the headsets can connect to the network or must run offline
4. Plan the rollout
- Book a short orientation so learners are comfortable in VR before they are assessed
- Keep the hands-on training the rule requires; VR is added practice, not a replacement
- Set a review date to decide whether to scale, change or stop
5. Canada specifics
- Confirm whether your site is provincially or federally regulated
- Involve the joint health and safety committee or representative
- Check whether English and French versions are needed
