Abstract	This paper presents an e-learning platform designed to improve the training activities in universities, especially in teaching the topics of passive components and circuits (CCP), electronic technologies and electronic materials. The platform is composed by two sections, one public section which is opened for the users and they can be freely accessed in order to view the documentations and multimedia content dedicated to technology in electronics. The second section of the platform has a restrictive access where the users must login with a name and a password. The first page of the platform allows to entering in the public section. The documents placed in the public section can only be viewed but can't be modified by the users. Only the administrator and the logged users can make modifications in the restricted section. The presented platform is based on virtual private network (VPN) technology in order to ensure the document transfers and communications for online teaching courses. In the implementation of VPN was used the OpenVPN software and dedicated hardware (computers, IP video cameras, microphones, routers). The e-learning platform is scalable and capable to interconnect other working platform developed in distant locations, for example in different university centers. By integrating the newest technologies in computer systems and secured communications the proposed e-learning solution increase the access of the students, researchers and working personnel to the field of electronic technology and improve the training in this domain.
