Quality control systems for technical and vocational training systems are completely different from evaluation which is handled by theoretical and practical final exams. Final exams are normally performed to evaluate the skill of learners, while quality control systems try to keep desired quality during the training time. An excellent quality control system can promote skill learners and consequently can lead to better results of final evaluations. In this paper, a qulity control system is presented where the quality control model is customized for technical and vocational training courses. The experimental results show that training quality process could be promote by the proposed quality control system.

Today; virtual (online) training is an integral part of the education system. Although studies have been conducted on the impact of virtual training, the benefits of virtual training in technical and vocational training courses have been considered less favorably for Imam Khomeini charity fund skill learners. This study aims to identify effective factors in success of these courses. The population covered by Imam Khomeini charity fund in Abhar and Khoramdareh cities is 220 persons.The data collection tool is a questionnaire made by researcher which its validity was confirmed by experts’ views while its reliability was approved through agreement between evaluators. For data analysis as well as latency patterns and achievement rate of virtual training, K-means algorithms, c4.5 and Weka software were used to analyze the data. The results indicate that variables like the ability to use virtual learning system (such as having skills or lack of skills in working with computer, having hardware and software) as well as individual characteristics (e.g. age, education, familiarity or unfamiliarity with virtual training courses, motivation for participate in these courses) and other factors are effective in the process of holding online training.
 
Finally, it is recommended to design a plan for holding virtual training courses. Also, it is necessary to check the availability of requirements for holding these courses for people covered by the charity centers.
