Organizations increasingly require more qualified technical personnel to maintain innovation, increase profitability, and offer both quality products and services. If they do not do so, they become more vulnerable to being relegated, carrying out outdated processes and losing market share. However, the formation of human capital is onerous, slow and incipient. Therefore, it is not surprising that simulation-based learning is currently an increasingly common modality, especially due to the advent of new technologies for this purpose. The Fourth Industrial Revolution requires new positions with specific profiles, where specialized technical competencies and soft skills are essential. Therefore, training processes must incorporate innovative strategies that can effectively blend the technical and attitudinal aspects. For this reason, the author continued research on Internet of Things education as a viable strategy, both technically and financially, for developing human capital for the Industry
4.0. This article summarizes the analysis of two learning experiences about IoT in which virtual simulators have been used for students of Secondary and Higher Education, showing the benefits and limitations of this modality as well as the identification of the causes that hinder its effective and efficient application, thereby providing inputs that validate or show key elements in the formation of technical courses.
