•Virtual reality technology, which provides both an audio and visual environment, is very important in moments of crisis such as epileptic seizures.•It enables families to gain real knowledge and skills in managing epileptic seizures at home.•It also identifies the actual knowledge and skills of the families, because it guarantees an objective assessment of the approach at the time of a real epileptic seizure.•Education program based on virtual reality technology is a training program that includes both training and evaluation steps away from bias.
