Summary/Abstract: The current article reports on action research within an exploratory case study discussing the process of designing an online training program for English as a Foreign Language National Examination examiners and raters in Estonia, the first of its kind to be used in the context explored. The process is guided by Collins’ Cognitive Apprenticeship Model and elements of the TPACK framework by Koehler et al. to determine the dimensions of the program, discuss its implementation and the trainees’ response to it. The analysis of the process revealed clear stages in its evolution as well as its cyclical nature. The implementation of the resultant online program, consisting of video-based trainer input and interactive interview management and student performance assessment tasks, displayed notable training benefits – clear trainee satisfaction with the training quality and an increase in learner autonomy.
