Unfortunately, you won't be able to run a virtual AP, this is due to the physical requirement of having physical radio components.
If you are unable to get AP's from your work, try the online second-hand market. You will be able to find older model AP's that are no longer viable for support which enterprise businesses tend to get rid of and sell off for a small price on the grey market, yet they will still be suitable for your study track.
Over the years the R&S tracks are now much more feasible to run in a virtual environment, unfortunately, with wireless your lab's virtual environment won't be able to cover the AP element.

Using 2nd hand kit wont work either if you haven't got licenses for the AP as well as the vWLC (which normally gives you 200 on eval)
