The efficiency of the laboratory applications in the Electrical and Electronics major of technical and vocational education (TVE) has a significant importance. Due to this significance, the sustainability of training of trainers is extremely important for the successful training of trainees. In this study, distance learning is focused and an e‐laboratory model is introduced for the target group of educators as the trainee. V‐LAB and D‐LAB hardware units are presented with their enhanced features for online laboratory applications. Wimax solution for wireless communication of this model is demonstrated. The performance evaluations of this system are also analyzed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 21: 439–447, 2013
