This paper presents the development of a multi-user, collaborative virtual reality environment for training electricians to  work on the electric power distribution network. Typically, traditional trainings in this field have lots of constraints and  don’t allow learners to experience a wide set of different equipment that is installed in the network nor bad weather  conditions and the different risk analysis that should be performed. With the proposed virtual reality environment,  learners will be able to practice several realistic conditions without risking themselves.
