The advancements in technology and the reduction in devices' cost are propelling the adoption of immersive technologies for workplace training. This paper presents a work-in-progress immersive virtual reality (VR) simulator that aims to enhance and facilitate the hands-on training process for field service telecommunication engineers. This work-in-progress paper describes an implementation of the simulator and preliminary results of users' evaluation. Additionally, it presents a usability comparison between web-based and immersive VR training based on our previous work.
