Abstract	Background: Since mobile learning is emerging as an alternative approach to teaching, educational institutions have used this approach to improve the teaching and learning process. This paper aimed at exploring learners' experiences of mobile learning in vocational and technical education courses. Methods: The research method in this study was phenomenology. In this method, researchers investigated learners' lived experiences of mobile learning in vocational and technical education courses by semi-structured interviews. Participants (two classrooms: 32 people) were all learners, who attended this course. Results: According to theme analysis of interviews, nine basic themes were identified, two organizing themes and one global theme. Based on thematic analysis, the results showed that learners had a positive perception of mobile learning. Conclusions: Using mobile learning, learners gain greater quality and in-depth learning and the opportunity to study anywhere and at any time.
