It was mirrored in higher values of the skill posttest results. The designed distance education program helped develop students' manual skills. The research results emphasize the importance of personal interaction and support in technical education. The paper was created as a part of the grant project VEGA No. 1/0550/22 Current state, trends, and problems in technical education at the lower and upper secondary education level concerning distance education.
