Thus, the experimental curriculum and the complex’s programmes comprise of a secondary professional education during the first stage and a higher professional education in a selected specialization during the second stage.

     The entrance examinations and enrollment of students into work groups is undertaken by a joint enrollment board of the complex and approved by the chair of its board of directors. Teaching in these groups is carried out in association with teachers of technical schools and ARDLIFE.

     To facilitate continuous education in the training complex system, the Faculty of Continuous Education (FCE) was created, which, together with the other educational institutions of the complex, carries out professional training for students (in groups) and pupils (in classes) based on approved curricula and programmes. It organizes, coordinates and checks the work of the various educational institutions of the complex.
