Note: Distance learning is divided into phases. In the first phase, the knowledge base, the teaching literature and its study (installation session, the second one – the verification of the acquired material (test-examination session) are obtained, while these phases divide the time interval from several months to a year. In principle, it is convenient, However, if the student is employed in parallel with the training, it must be borne in mind that during the session it will be difficult to work. According to the law, a student who works and studies must be released by the employer for the duration of the session. I received a certificate sent from the institution. It has clear deadlines for how the student will study, but again not every employer is ready to release the subordinate for almost a month in the summer and for a period of 10 days in winter, which does not even count with usual leave.
