I was wondering if there is any trade school that function online? I live in a small town and don't have many options.
Trade schools?

A few years ago, I was looking at,
bhi.co.uk
But I couldn't get funding and, in truth, making a living from it would be nigh on impossible around these parts.
The Open University does a well accredited online bookkeeping course; but there are issues with making a living from bookkeeping now that there are apps available for small businesses.
Despite that, it'd still be a feather in your cap, but you will still need to get good practical experience before becoming self-employed/freelance.
Hands-on jobs usually require hands-on training as, by their nature, lives and property are at risk, so your attitude, along with your practical competence, will be under scrutiny.

Established in 1858 to promote horology, the British Horological Institute's prime purpose today is to provide education.

I don't know what correspondence courses are like today, since the invention of the internet, but it might be worthwhile to look into it. Back in the day I took two TV repair courses that actually gave me a pretty good understanding of electronics and electron theory, which helped a lot in my later career. Nothing was done online. All the books were sent through the mail along with a lot of equipment for hands-on learning. I received the parts to build a VTVM (vacuum tube volt meter(?)), an oscilloscope, a vectorscope, 2 TVs, and some other things. I have no idea what a course like that would cost today, or if they even exist, but it was definitely worthwhile for me.
