Note: It is known that for employers the form for which a student in a Ukrainian university was trained does not have much significance. Therefore, whether full-time, part-time or evening form – an employee will still teach professional moments. And although theoretically shod better, students in the evening or correspondence departments may have advantages over the employer and employment. And all because most of these students have work experience and knowledge of work discipline, order. Therefore, the main plus of correspondence education is the possibility of combining studies with work. It can be graduates of technical schools, and recent schoolchildren, and those who failed to enter the full-time department, and people who are already over 30, and army men … The graduates of technical schools have benefits and advantages over other students, if they come on already existing specialty, or similar. In addition, the term of instruction is reduced, and is about 3.5 years.
