This paper presents the user-centered prototyping and evaluation of an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) learning environment for vocational education. The VR prototype was developed to support Swiss apprentice electricians in preparing for their final practical exams. Based on proven questionnaires, an evaluation scheme was developed to assess the user experience both in the context of the iterative prototyping process and in the context of a field study. The field study with 70 apprentices was conducted to assess the impact of the VR learning prototype on learning success.
