Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted traditional face-to-face learning, compelling Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions globally to adapt swiftly. In Kenya, TVET institutions initially turned to synchronous online learning platforms like Zoom and Google Meet to ensure educational continuity. However, the synchronous model exposed notable limitations, especially in practical skills training, prompting a further shift to asynchronous learning which offers greater flexibility, autonomy and access. Despite these benefits, the shift to asynchronous learning faced challenges, including inadequate digital infrastructure and limited trainer readiness. This study examined the readiness of trainers in Kenyan TVET institutions to effectively deliver asynchronous learning. A mixed-methods research design was utilized, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches to gather data from trainers, principals, and institutional observations. The findings revealed that while digital infrastructure and tools for asynchronous delivery were available, they were often insufficient. Additionally, many trainers lack the necessary competencies for effective asynchronous delivery. The study concludes that although the transition to asynchronous learning is promising, significant investments in digital infrastructure and continuous professional development for trainers are crucial to ensure the effectiveness and quality of education in Kenyan TVET institutions. The study recommends that to effectively implement online delivery, trainers need enhanced training programs focusing on advanced digital skills and innovative online teaching methods, equitable distribution of digital resources, and continuous support through training , peer mentoring, and robust feedback mechanisms.
