Re-Training Programmes • Additional education/training is a continual qualification

improvement process run to meet enhancing strengthening of requirements of federal educational standards. o Federal Act “On Education”

• Standardisation is a dynamic and rapidly developing area; experts need to improve their qualifications continually .

• In practice, educational establishments offering special professional re-training programmes (additional education programmes) often fill gaps in curricula of higher school establishments and implement continual improvement principle in practice. o If you’ve got a new employee, first of all send him to an

appropriate professional re-training course.

• ASMC runs professional re-training (upgrading) courses in

standardisation, metrology and certification and promotes

new international standards in Russia.

• ASMC has branches in key regions of Russia, and courses

delivered in Moscow and elsewhere are addressed both to

practitioners and to university teachers.

• ASMC runs professional retraining courses on such issues as: o Technical regulation o Standardisation o Metrology o Measurements o Certification

o Accreditation o Quality Management o Environmental Management o Energy Management o Risk management

o Fire safety

• There are both standard/typical programmes and tailor made ones developed based on the results of training needs analysis.

• Duration of training programmes vary from 72 to 1000 hours.

Conclusions • Standardisation, Metrology and Certification issues have been

present in Russian university curricula since many decades ago.

• Technical universities lead in training bachelors and masters in

Standardisation and Metrology (about 500 graduates) and Quality Management (about 2000 graduates) annually.

• Curriculum for training economists does not contain compulsory

courses dealing with Standardisation, Metrology and Certification,

though management and merchandising related courses may cover these issues.

• Curriculum for training managers includes a reasonable

Standardisation, Metrology and Certification course as well as a

number of Management Systems related courses.

• Curriculum for training lawyers does not contain compulsory

courses dealing with Standardisation, Metrology and Certification.

Variable courses touching these issues are scarce.

• Professional re-training establishments help to fill gaps in higher school curricula developing and continually improving numerous

courses dealing with Standardisation, Metrology and Certification.

Thank you!
