This paper performs a verification of some innovative training methods recently proposed by the authors for training students in Computer Networks and Network Security within the frame of current trends in Technical and Vocational Education, based on a meta-analysis conducted by researchers in Europe, Asia and North America [1]. Focus is set on research methodology, apprenticeship-like training, teaching and evaluation methods and the use of information technologies in technical and vocational education. We conclude that the analyzed innovative training methods are deducted as being representative from the point of view of both conceptual and research papers, being based on case-studies and covering a wide majority of data sources considered valid for Technical and Vocational Education. Further development of the training methods by the authors is aimed through the introduction of a new 'Internet of Things' course at the 'Gheorghe Asachi' Technical University of Iasi, Romania. © 2018 IEEE.
