Abstract: The article explores the possibility of using railway vehicle simulators and train traffic management station simulators for training Warsaw metro employees. The great benefits of using simulators are pointed out. On the basis of experience, positive opinions of candidates and employees who already have qualifications in terms of the possibility of practicing many incidental situations rarely occurring in reality have been observed. The use of simulators allows for the repetition of the same exercises for all employees and the initial verification of the trainee's predisposition to perform given activities.
