Topics for advanced training. Professional development of teaching staff

Two categories of Russian citizens can study at SNTA:

1) On the basis of higher and secondary specialized education. Those who already have any professional education. To undergo training in the educational programs of the SNTA, you must have a diploma of secondary vocational or higher education.

2) On the basis of grades 9-11. The second category includes persons without special education who do not have a diploma of secondary vocational or higher education, i.e. on the basis of a secondary school. They can master the curriculum onlyon working specialties(more than 60 directions and specializations).

Curriculum for additional professional education

Today the Academy implements the following types of specialist training:

(from 250 academic hours and more) - part-time and part-time with the use of distance technologies.
staff (from 16 hours to 249 academic hours) - in-person and in absentia and in absentia using remote access to teaching materials on educational portal.
Full-time educational seminars - on the territory of the Academy.
Educational webinars.
Full-time training of a group of employees at the customer's site - for corporate applications from legal entities.

Professional retraining courses

Retraining is the second prof. education. According to the Federal Law "On Education", one of the forms of obtaining additional professional education is the retraining of professional personnel. Moreover, this form of obtaining new specialty equivalent to the basic prof. education. This means that if the student at the time of receiving the second specialty has a secondary specialized education, then the issued retraining diploma will also be equal to the diploma of secondary vocational education (conditionally: the second secondary specialized education).

The situation with higher education is identical: if the student already has a higher education, then after studying at the retraining courses, the student will receive a diploma equal in value to the second diploma of higher professional education, which allows him to engage in a new type professional activity(Please note that a refresher diploma is not a document of a second higher education).

Professional retraining on the basis of higher education

If you have a higher education and you need to quickly get a second specialty, then you can take courses professional retraining on the basis of higher education at the Modern Science and Technology Academy.

Who can take professional retraining courses? Retraining courses can be taken by those who wish to change their profession or specialization. for instance, persons with medical education can retrain as a teacher and work in educational institution... Or, For example, a teacher of the Russian language can retrain to a history teacher or an educational psychologist, etc. All training programs meet the requirements of professional standards, federal state educational standards and industry regulations.

Issued documents, terms and format of training in professional retraining courses... The Academy issues a retraining diploma of the established sample. Diplomas are issued on forms strict accountability State sign and are indefinite. Such a diploma is the main document that gives the right to conduct professional activities in a new specialty. For certain areas of training, additional documents are provided:
- medical specialties: in addition, a specialist certificate is issued for a period of up to 5 years,
- on labor protection (OT) and fire-technical minimum (PTM): an additional certificate is issued for a period of 3 years,
- for civil defense and emergency situations: an additional certificate and minutes of the meeting of the commission are issued,
- for construction and engineering specialties: an additional qualification certificate (SRO) is issued.

Training in professional retraining courses takes place according to individual plans, which are coordinated with the Academy. According to the standard requirements, 6 hours a day are allocated for mastering. Thus, a professional retraining course of 250 ac. hours will take 41 days - from 1.5 to 2 months. The educational process is carried out using distance technologies. Residents of even the most remote regions of Russia can undergo retraining. All training takes place on the Academy's portal.

Refresher courses

According to the requirements of professional standards, as well as the industry requirements of regulatory enactments, For example,for medical workers - Order of the Ministry of Health No. 707 etc., specialists are required to take refresher courses at regular intervals.

For different categories of professions, the frequency is different, for example,
- for teaching staff, specialists in the field of labor protection, mine surveying, etc. - every 3 years,
- for accountants and medical workers, etc. - every 5 years,
- for labor protection specialists at special enterprises: a hazardous facility - every year, an explosive facility - every six months.

Training at advanced training courses at the Modern Science and Technology Academy takes place in several formats:

Distance learning courses... They are held remotely on the SNTA educational portal. For this, the listener needs access to the Internet.
Full-time training of a group of listeners at the customer's site... This format is convenient for specialists in geodesy and mine surveying, or for teachers in first aid courses. To provide this form of training, the academy sends its teachers to the place of training of students.
Full-time one-day and multi-day educational seminars on the territory of the Academy(Moscow, street Gazetny per., 3-5, metro station Okhotny Ryad, 10 minutes from the Kremlin).

Listeners are issued a certificate of the established form, medical specialists are also issued a certificate of a specialist. All documents are issued on Goznak's strict reporting forms. Certificates are provided for seminar attendees.

Cost of education

Dear listeners. The site does not reflect the cost of training for a specific specialization. This is due to the fact that a specific curriculum with the necessary teaching load is selected for each student. Such requirements are dictated by regulatory legal acts (Orders of departments) and professional standards, according to which, for a particular student, depending on his level of education, length of service in the profile and direction in a certain position, various teaching loads are provided, that is, the number of hours in curriculum.

The number of hours is still determined by the goals of obtaining additional professional education:

1) Get new profession not related to the existing profile of education. For example, a student with a medical education wants to get an education in the field of technical professions (a physiotherapist wants to undergo retraining of a service engineer for the maintenance of medical equipment, or a software engineer wants to master a pedagogical specialty).

2) Get a new specialization in your own profile. For example, a student with an engineering degree wants to get another specialization in an engineering profile. Or a neurologist wants to become a radiologist, etc.

We ask you to treat with understanding the fact that there are no tuition fees for training programs, because curriculum and academic plan is selected individually, depending on the characteristics of the listener himself (experience, education, training profile). The cost for a particular program can be obtained from the specialists of the Academy.

Any student of the Academy can at will (for a fee) receive a duplicate of the educational document (diploma, certificate or certificate), printed on a metal base (wall board). This service is free for participants of promotions and special offers.

The Academy conducts full-time educational courses and seminars. Seminars are conducted by leading experts and scientists.

Formats of face-to-face educational events:

One-day seminar (8 academic hours) - a certificate of the participant is issued;
Multi-day educational cycle (from 16 academic hours) - a certificate of advanced training is issued;
Corporate on-site training at the customer's site - from 16 ac. hours with the issuance of certificates and other educational documents.

To find out how the face-to-face educational activities, watch the video presentation.

Visitors to the blog - teachers in their comments often raise issues related to advanced training, although the Ministry of Education and the All-Russian Trade Union of Education has provided comprehensive explanations (see the joint letter of the Ministry of Education of Russia and the All-Russian Trade Union of Education dated March 23, 2015 No. 08-415 / 124 "On realization of the right of teachers to additional vocational education ", letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated October 9, 2013 No. 06-735" On additional vocational education ").

Teachers are concerned, for example, with such questions: is professional development a prerequisite for working in an educational organization, for certification, can seminars, conferences, "round tables" be counted by them as advanced training, does the school director have the right to oblige the teacher to undergo advanced training for your account, etc.

What is professional development?

In Art. 2 Federal law dated December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ "On education in Russian Federation"(Hereinafter - the Law on Education) is given following definition: « Professional development is an update of theoretical and practical knowledge, improvement of the skills of specialists in connection with the constantly increasing requirements for their qualifications ».

Thus, professional development is the further training of an employee of the same profession in order to improve professional knowledge, abilities, skills, is implemented within the framework of additional professional education (hereinafter - DPO).

The procedure for organizing and carrying out educational activities for additional professional programs is determined by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated July 1, 2013 No. 499.

Note. According to the definition of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Art. 195.1) “ Qualification is the level of knowledge, abilities, skills and competence that characterizes the readiness to perform a certain type of professional activity ».

What is additional professional education?

As defined by the Education Act (art. 76) additional vocational education is vocational education carried out through the implementation of additional professional programs(professional development programs and professional retraining programs).

Program professional development is aimed at improving and (or) obtaining new competencies necessary for professional activity, and (or) raising the professional level within the framework of the existing qualifications. These can be short-term programs, but at least 16 hours in length.

Program professional retraining is aimed at obtaining the competence necessary to perform a new type of professional activity, acquiring a new qualification. These are already programs lasting at least 250 hours.

The term for mastering an additional professional program should ensure the possibility of achieving the planned results and obtaining a new competency (qualification) declared in the program.

Training in additional professional programs can be carried out both simultaneously and continuously, and in stages (discretely), including through the development of individual academic subjects, courses, disciplines (modules), internship, the use of online forms, in the manner prescribed by the educational program and (or) the education agreement, as well as in whole or in part in the form of an internship.

Improvement or qualification assignment based on the results of additional vocational education is confirmed by a certificate of advanced training or a diploma of vocational retraining (clause 1 of part 10 of article 60 of the Law on Education).

Thus, attending individual one-time seminars, "round tables", conferences does not mean that a teacher has advanced training, therefore, certificates of participation in them cannot be counted as documents for advanced training.

The right of a pedagogue to additional professional education

The right of pedagogical workers to receive additional professional education in the profile of pedagogical activity at least once every three years established by the Law on Education (clause 2, part 5, article 47). The frequency of continuing education during this period is determined by the employer.

The creation of conditions and the organization of continuing education for pedagogues by the Law on Education (clause 5, part 3, article 28) are referred to the competence of the educational organization, i.e. to the competence of the employer. At the same time, the employer does not have the right to oblige employees to carry out advanced training at the expense of their own funds, including such conditions cannot be included in the relevant agreements.

Realization of the right to additional professional education

The right of a pedagogical worker to additional vocational training is realized by concluding an agreement between the pedagogue and the employer (part 2 of p. 197 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), which must contain the obligations of the parties, including the obligation of the pedagogue to improve his qualifications in the direction of the employer, and the obligations of the employer when the pedagogue is sent for promotion. qualifications with a break from work, ensure compliance with the guarantees and compensations provided for in Article 187 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation: retention of the place of work (position) and average wages at the main place of work, the order and size that are provided for persons sent on business trips.

Thus, if pedagogical workers, by the decision of their employers, are sent to advanced training courses in state educational organizations of additional vocational education, then training for them should be free.

Professional development as a duty of a pedagogical worker

The teaching profession requires constant improvement, regular updating of knowledge, the use of modern most effective technologies and teaching methods. All this is possible only with continuous training and advanced training. Therefore, it is no coincidence that among the duties of teaching staff defined by Part 1 of Art. 48 of the Law on Education, includes the obligation “ systematically improve your professional level ". This requirement applies to all teaching staff, regardless of whether they work according to the Federal State Educational Standard or not.

What if …

If the pedagogue's right to additional vocational training, enshrined in the agreement concluded between the pedagogue and the employer, is not exercised due to the employer's refusal to fulfill its obligations, the pedagogue has the right to apply to the bodies for the consideration of individual labor disputes (the commission on labor disputes, court) or to the State Labor Inspectorate for the restoration of the violated right to DPO;

if the pedagogue is sent by the employer to receive additional education, but the employer does not provide him with provided by law and by the agreement of guarantees and compensations, the pedagogue has the right to refuse to receive additional education;

if a pedagogue wished to be certified, then his non-receipt of additional professional education cannot serve as a reason for refusing to establish a qualification category for him or for recognizing him as inappropriate for his position;

if the employer fulfills the conditions of the concluded agreement for obtaining additional professional education, including the provision of guarantees, the employee is not entitled without good reason refuse to receive additional education, including in cases where additional education is carried out using the form of organizing educational activities based on a modular principle, during the academic year without interrupting the main work;

if the conditions of the concluded agreement for obtaining additional vocational training are fulfilled, and the employee refuses to undergo additional vocational training without good reason, then this will be a disciplinary offense, that is, the employee's failure to fulfill, through his fault, those assigned to him in accordance with labor contract labor duties, for the performance of which the employer has the right to apply the appropriate disciplinary action, provided for in Article 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation: remark, reprimand, dismissal on appropriate grounds.

Since my children go to another kindergarten and they are small, I cannot be at work all day. Can I take on-the-job training?

Refresher courses are required for all professionals every few years. For workers in the medical and educational sphere, they are necessarily organized government bodies... For other professionals, training is provided by the employer. Its frequency is also determined by the leadership.

The exception is specialties for which a license is required - this is a number of construction professions, transportation drivers dangerous goods etc. That is, professions associated with risks to life and health and with a high level of responsibility. Such workers must take refresher courses every three or five years and receive a new license. Otherwise, they are not allowed to engage in such activities.

How are refresher courses

Courses can be conducted using several methods. It is necessary to choose the one that will be optimal in terms of efficiency, cost, duration and correspond to the capabilities of the employee and the enterprise. It is also important that the training is complete, and not carried out for the sake of the fact of its completion and certification.

For specialists, training is carried out on the basis of specialized training centers or universities. They are taught by practicing specialists or teachers of higher educational institutions. Their duration depends on the curriculum and direction - from several weeks to several months.

For working specialties, advanced training is carried out in training centers followed by practice in production or directly in production without interruption from work. In this case, practicing masters of the highest category and lecturers from vocational schools and universities teach. The option of advanced training at the enterprise is preferable. In this case, the emphasis is on practice. But not every company can afford such costs. For this, a special training department is being created, which is engaged in organizing such events. Its employees draw up a training plan, a program, form groups of students, draw up a schedule and form a teaching staff from hired lecturers and their masters with the highest rank and extensive work experience.

What is included in the professional development program

The course program primarily depends on the profession. Compiled by her training center on the recommendations of government services. Depending on the specialization, the emphasis can be on the theoretical part or on workshops.

The curriculum necessarily includes:

Basic knowledge required for a specialist. Since in their professional activities, the majority uses only a small part of all knowledge, and the rest is gradually forgotten.
Technology, materials science, computer technology, automation techniques (for a number of specialties).
Social and humanitarian disciplines (for a number of specialties).
Profile disciplines.
Innovations in the field, new technologies and methods of work.
Occupational health and safety.
Norms and standards of the specialty.

Such training allows you to update the knowledge base, restore basic skills, learn innovations and new standards of the profession. An employee who regularly develops in the professional field is a valuable cadre for employers, receives a higher wages and holds high positions. In addition, such an employee will not be left without work - he can easily find new job if necessary.

How to get to refresher courses

Further training is regulated by government regulations. When each employee must take the courses, the management of the enterprise decides directly. It should cover all the costs of studying, living in another city and transportation costs.

But if the employer cannot or does not want to invest in the specialist finances and spend working time, the specialist can unlearn on his own initiative. In this case, he assumes all costs. It is enough just to contact any training center or university where there is a corresponding faculty.

For specialists who are temporarily unemployed, you can contact the regional employment center. If there is such an opportunity, the employment center will send the applicant to study with subsequent employment. All expenses are borne by the employment center - it pays for tuition, pays a scholarship, if necessary, pays for living in another city and transport costs.

Required documents

In order to get to the courses, the employee must provide a package of documents to the employer or employee of the training center:

Application of the established form for admission to the training center.
Education document with attachment.
License (for professions that need it).
Copy of the passport.
A document confirming the change of surname (if the surnames in the diploma and in the passport are different).

For some specialties, you will also need employment history, confirming the existence of real work experience and a certificate of medical examination.

Upon completion of training, the specialist receives a certificate of advanced training, workers also receive a certificate of advanced training and a license for labor activity(for a number of working specialties).

Additional ways to improve your skills

In addition to courses in training centers, you can improve your qualifications and your working skills at various seminars, forums, trainings, short-term courses, during internships in large companies... Forums, seminars, lectures and trainings provide an opportunity to study in detail a specific problem, get acquainted with options for its solution, and test them in practice. Often, after such events, specialists also receive a certificate. This gives good results and is useful for every employee, but it is not a full-fledged professional development. For optimal results, it is best to combine all possible professional development methods. So the information field will be the most complete and comprehensive.

Often a person realizes that he is working in the wrong place. Instead of doing photo shoots, he sits in a stuffy office and pays salaries. In most cases, a person chooses a profession not at will, but out of necessity. That is, we work where they pay more. Professional retraining is a chance to change your life and finally get a job that will bring not only income, but also pleasure.

Definition

Professional retraining is the development of new knowledge and skills, the formation of special skills for obtaining additional education... In other words, for those who already have higher education and want to master a new specialty.

Retraining differs significantly from obtaining a second higher education, since a specific course covers a narrow set of subjects required for its study. The quality of knowledge does not suffer from this, but, on the contrary, the student purposefully studies a specific specialty and its specifics. Such training is much more convenient, faster and, most importantly, does not cost the budget.

Difference from continuing education

Some people confuse the concepts and "professional retraining", believing that they are one and the same. This is not true. These two concepts have significant differences.

Further education should be understood as training of those persons who have a profession in a particular field and want to improve their professional skills, knowledge and skills, without raising their educational level.

Professional retraining should be understood as the training of those persons who already have a certain position or profession, but want to get a new one, in their own interests or taking into account the needs in production.

It turns out that professional retraining programs are more extensive and give students more freedom of choice and activity.

The benefits of retraining

The main advantages of professional retraining include:

full compliance with the existing Russian legislation;
development of training programs taking into account professional standards and qualified requirements;
the shortest possible time for training;
the possibility of expanding knowledge of the basic specialization and obtaining an additional profession adjacent to the main one;
increasing competitiveness in the job market;
a higher level of practical training of specialists;
the opportunity to study further in graduate school or defend a Ph.D. thesis;
opportunity to develop personal qualities that are necessary for career growth;
availability of training from the financial side;
lack of general subjects that are not related to the subject being studied;
comfortable shape for evening wear.

Kinds

There are several types of professional retraining programs:

In order to improve the existing professional activity. Such retraining is recommended for specialists within the framework of their specific profession. The completed training can improve or supplement the existing knowledge and skills for further competent work. The curriculum for such a course is developed for specific professions and takes into account qualified requirements. In this case, it is necessary to have a completed secondary vocational or higher education. The training lasts six months, after which the specialist receives a diploma of the established sample about the professional retraining he has completed.
In order to obtain additional qualifications. Additional professional retraining in this case can serve as a good alternative to the second higher education... Specialists with a complete higher or education can receive additional qualifications. If the student is still a student, then cross-disciplinary results will be taken into account. Training usually lasts about two years, after which students receive state-standard diplomas on additional education.

Peculiarities

Professional training and retraining have their own characteristics. There is no fundamental difference between these concepts. In addition to, in fact, development, there are several more nuances why you need to get additional qualifications:

the need for retraining is associated with the process of releasing employees, their promotion up the career ladder, intra-production turnover due to the search for a job with better conditions;
retraining should be associated with the professional and qualified promotion of employees, the main form of which is getting a related or second profession. This was developed due to the development of a collective form of labor organization, where an important condition is the implementation of the principle of interchangeability;
often those categories of employees who have held their positions for a long time and their knowledge and skills are somewhat outdated or irrelevant, undergo retraining.

Education

A good analogue of a second higher education is professional retraining. The training in the given courses is much shorter than in a higher education institution. This is because retraining does not imply the study of general subjects. Only those subjects that relate to specialization are studied.
