Abstract
The article deals with the Russian universities and main objectives and tasks connected with distance educational technologies and e-learning in supplementary vocational programs.When implementing the program of further training it is necessary to take into account that students are already employed and work according to their profession. The educational process is carried out on the work-based basis. Due to this fact, the educational process meets additional requirements. These are training and methodological support of the students’ independent work, remote access to teaching materials that should be convenient for students, remote online and offline consulting and experienced professionals for conducting lessons. Application of distance learning technologies must be combined with the organization of workshops on the basis of the modern equipment and facilities.Following these factors, the educational process in RSACU is organized as a team work and individual work.
