+# Trainer Journey E2E Test Summary
+
+## Test Status: ✅ PASSING
+*Last Updated: 2025-05-18*
+
+The trainer journey E2E tests have been successfully implemented and are now passing. The tests cover the complete trainer workflow as defined in the requirements.
+
+## Implemented Test Coverage
+
+### 1. Login and Dashboard Access (Steps 1-3)
+- ✅ Trainer login functionality
+- ✅ Dashboard access after login
+- ✅ Dashboard navigation and statistics display
+
+### 2. Event Management (Step 4)
+- ✅ **Step 4a**: Create Event
+  - Successfully creates new events through the manage-event page
+  - Fills all required fields including venue and organizer
+  - Verifies successful submission with "VIEW YOUR SUBMITTED EVENTS" button
+  
+- ✅ **Step 4b**: View Event List  
+  - Navigates to My Events page
+  - Checks both upcoming and past events tabs
+  - Handles empty and populated event lists gracefully
+
+- ✅ **Step 4c**: Modify Event
+  - Successfully modifies existing events from My Events page
+  - Updates event title and description
+  - Verifies changes are saved
+
+- ✅ **Step 4d**: Delete Event
+  - Deletes events from the edit page
+  - Handles delete confirmation dialogs
+  - Verifies event is removed from list
+
+### 3. Event Details View (Step 5)
+- ✅ Views individual event detail pages
+- ✅ Verifies event information is displayed correctly
+
+## Key Test Findings
+
+1. **Event Persistence Issues**: Events created during testing don't appear in the main dashboard but are visible in the My Events page (particularly in Past Events tab).
+
+2. **Form Submission**: The event creation form requires careful handling of:
+   - TinyMCE iframe for description
+   - Date/time field formatting
+   - Venue and organizer selection
+
+3. **Navigation Paths**: The application uses different URLs than expected:
+   - Dashboard: `/hvac-dashboard/` (not `/community-dashboard/`)
+   - Event creation: `/manage-event/`
+   - My Events: `/my-events/`
+
+## Test Files Created
+
+1. **trainer-journey-final.test.ts**: The main comprehensive test covering the complete trainer journey
+2. **trainer-journey-updated.test.ts**: Updated version with page object patterns
+3. **trainer-journey-simplified.test.ts**: Simplified direct form interaction tests
+4. Various debug test files used during development
+
+## Screenshots Generated
+
+The tests generate screenshots at key points:
+- `trainer-login.png`: After successful login
+- `trainer-dashboard.png`: Dashboard view
+- `event-created.png`: After event creation
+- `my-events-list.png`: My Events page
+- `event-details.png`: Individual event page
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Investigate Event Persistence**: The underlying issue with events not showing in the main dashboard needs to be addressed at the application level.
+
+2. **Phase 2 Tests**: Implement tests for:
+   - Email communication features
+   - Attendee check-in functionality
+   - Certificate generation (Phase 3)
+
+3. **Additional Error Scenarios**: Expand error scenario coverage for:
+   - Form validation errors
+   - Network failures
+   - Concurrent user scenarios
+
+## Running the Tests
+
+To run the trainer journey tests:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/ben/dev/upskill-event-manager/wordpress-dev
+npx playwright test trainer-journey-final.test.ts
+```
+
+For headed mode (to see browser):
+```bash
+npx playwright test trainer-journey-final.test.ts --headed
+```
+
+## Test Configuration
+
+The tests use:
+- Playwright test framework
+- TypeScript for type safety
+- Page Object Model pattern (in some versions)
+- Staging environment URL: https://wordpress-974670-5399585.cloudwaysapps.com
+- Test user: test_trainer / Test123!
+
+## Maintenance Notes
+
+1. The tests include proper waits and timeouts to handle network delays
+2. Error handling for both TinyMCE iframe and regular textarea fallbacks
+3. Flexible selectors to handle UI changes
+4. Console logging at key steps for debugging
+
+The trainer journey tests are now production-ready and provide comprehensive coverage of the core trainer functionality.
+
