    This study aimed to explore the influence of virtual professional training on teachers' online classroom management practices. Five teachers teaching at an early years branch of a reputed private school in Lahore were selected through purposive sampling employing the criterion sampling technique.The study is qualitative, incorporating a hermeneutic phenomenology research design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data. Thematic analysis was done to extract findings. The study concluded that prompt, professional training of the teachers provides confidence, updates their knowledge and pedagogies, introduces them to the latest techniques and strategies, and improves their management skills. Teachers, therefore, are needed to be trained well before time, keeping in mind the changing dynamics of the education sector.
