This case study reviews how E-learning can be integrated into trades courses, examining its effectiveness, implications for future learners, and potential as an alternative to face-to-face teaching. We focus on practical applications in disciplines like plumbing and automotive, considering the benefits of digital tools such as high-definition cameras and various testing equipment. We also address challenges like lack of communication and peer support which can hinder online learning. The study aims to provide insights for educators and institutions regarding E-learning in vocational training.
