The research method is represented by a set of specific forms, methods and means of theoretical and applied research in the field of pedagogy of vocational education. Result of the research. The transition of the national education system to a two-level system of training (Bachelor's, Master's) was connected with Russia’s entering the Bologna agreement, which led to the unification of the educational system of our country with the world system. Since the beginning of the Bologna process, sufficient time has passed, which allows formulating a number of preliminary results. First, in the Soviet system of education the share of time intended for higher education was greater, which allowed to speed up the process of growing up of the student. Secondly, the content of the curriculum of the specialist’s program in the Soviet University was aimed at fundamental, academic training, and in the training in the undergraduate there was a focus on the mastery of competencies and labor functions. Third, since education in the USSR was free at all levels, there was no stratification between students on the property basis. At present, this stratification has taken dangerous proportions. Conclusion . The existing system of two-level education is in the process of formation, it is inferior in a number of parameters to the specialist’s program of the Soviet model, but in the case of successful structural reforms in the economy, the demand for graduates of Bachelor's and Master's courses will increase and economic entities will actively participate in the formation of new educational concepts.
