As shown in FIG. 3 , in order to determine a specific program as a training program for a trainee (step 230), first, at least one of the work experience information 510, the training completion history information 520, and the operation capability information 530 Based on one, a proficiency evaluation value may be calculated (step 231). In order to calculate the proficiency evaluation value, at least one of the plurality of indices described above with reference to FIG. 5 may be summed.

Referring back to FIG. 3 , in response to determining that the calculated proficiency evaluation value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, at least one of training programs according to the virtual reality device may be determined as a training program for the trainee (step 233).

Alternatively, in response to determining that the calculated proficiency evaluation value is less than a predetermined threshold, at least one of training programs according to the kiosk may be determined as a training program for the trainee (step 235). Therefore, it is a virtual reality device-based training program that provides a kiosk-based training program that allows trainees to access more easily based on their proficiency in the relevant industrial facility, or performs training similar to advanced level practical experience. An immersive training program can be provided.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 is a second detailed flowchart of the training program determination step of FIG. 2 . With reference to FIG. 4 , an embodiment of the training program determination step (step 230 ) of FIG. 2 will be described in more detail.

According to one aspect, the step of determining at least one of the training programs according to the virtual reality device described above with reference to FIG. 3 as a training program for the trainee (step 233) or at least one of the training programs according to the kiosk to the trainee The determining step 235 as a training program for ? may be configured to determine a plurality of training programs as a training program for the trainee. That is, it is possible to determine several training programs as candidates for appropriate training programs for the trainee.

Here, in determining the training program for the trainee (step 230), first, through the display unit of the training control device 300 so that the instructor of the virtual training system can confirm the industrial equipment proficiency information and the determined plurality of training programs for the trainee. can be printed out. For example, the display may be displayed through at least one of the first display unit 340 and the second display unit 350 . Here, not only a list of a plurality of determined training programs, but also industrial equipment proficiency information for a corresponding trainee may be displayed together through the display unit. Accordingly, the instructor managing the training control device 300 may determine a more appropriate training program by considering the candidate programs determined based on the proficiency information and the specific details of the proficiency information for the trainee. Therefore, it is possible to determine the training program in consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors. In relation to this, as shown in FIG. 4 , a selection for any one of a plurality of training programs may be input from the instructor through the input unit of the training control device 300 (step 239).

In the step of operating the virtual reality device or the kiosk of FIG. 2 (step 240), the virtual reality device 100 or the kiosk 200 may be operated to provide a training program according to an input through an input unit.

Meanwhile, according to an aspect of the present invention, the step of determining at least one of the training programs according to the virtual reality device described above with reference to FIG. 3 as the training program for the trainee (step 233) or the training programs according to the kiosk The step of determining at least one of the training programs for the trainee (step 235) is based on the information on the training program that the trainee has previously performed and the information on whether the completion of the previously performed training program has been passed or not passed, Among the training programs previously performed by the trainee, a plurality of training programs other than the program that has been completed may be configured to be determined as a training program for the trainee. That is, the training program that the trainee has already completed and passed is not adopted as a candidate training program again, so that the instructor does not check through the display unit.

Referring back to FIG. 2 , after starting the training by operating the virtual reality device or the kiosk (step 240 ), the training control device 300 provides a virtual training system 10 for displaying information through the first display unit. By receiving an input for operation of a scenario of the training program from the instructor of the teacher, the scenario of the training program being provided through the virtual reality device or the kiosk may be changed (step 250 ). That is, the instructor who operates the training control device 300 can continuously monitor the status of the current training program, and among various training scenarios that the program can include, a form more suitable for the trainee currently performing It is possible to change the training scenario so that the training can proceed.

In addition, referring again to FIG. 2 , after the step of operating the virtual reality device or the kiosk, the training control device 300 performs virtual training on the display of information through the first display unit and the display of information through the second display unit. In response to receiving information on whether or not the training has been completed by the instructor of the system, information regarding whether the trainee has passed the training program provided by the virtual reality device or the kiosk may be generated (step 260). That is, the instructor operating the training control device 300, by considering at least one or more of the training related information displayed through the first display unit and the training mode of the trainee that can be confirmed through the second display unit allows the trainee to decide whether or not he or she has successfully completed the training program. Accordingly, information on whether the corresponding trainee has successfully completed the corresponding training program may be generated based on the input through the input unit of the instructor's training control device 300 .

Here, according to one aspect, the generated information on whether the trainee has passed the course may be configured to be transmitted to the database server 400 by, for example, a training control device. Therefore, it can be utilized as training completion information in the case where training is performed again in the future. Meanwhile, according to one aspect, the industrial equipment proficiency information stored in the database server 400 may be configured to be transmitted to the personnel management server associated with the industrial equipment operating subject. Accordingly, the training performance by the training system according to an embodiment of the present invention may be utilized as evaluation data for personnel management of a company operating the corresponding industrial facility.
