It is noted that the rapid development of new information systems in recent years and the introduction of computer technologies into the system of vocational education is a logical and necessary step in the development of the current information society, but it should be qualitatively justified, not always a substitute, but a complementary factor in the system of modern education.

The research methodology is based on the use of general scientific methods, namely: analytical, inductive, deductive and comparative, in order to determine the development of the chosen problem and the prospects for its research.
