Organ structure state power has an extensive system. Advanced training programs for civil servants are drawn up taking into account the dynamically developing legislation and the emergence of new methods of work. The Institute offers courses for both executive and legislative officials. It is important not only to know the content of relevant regulations, but also to be able to apply them correctly.

Professional development of municipal employees includes:

• theoretical training;
• workshops;
• familiarization with visual thematic materials;
• study of practice, including judicial.

Refresher courses for civil servants

Some state bodies include the topics of professional development of civil servants in the mandatory work plan. Some leaders prefer to send civil servants on business trips, while others justifiably undergo advanced training for civil servants in Moscow. Our teachers will conduct seven classes with employees of state structures, strengthening and improving their knowledge. A visit to the Institute for Advanced Studies of Civil Servants will add professionalism to your work:

The efficiency of the civil service depends on the professionalism of its employees. Therefore, the rights and obligations of the employer in relation to additional professional education of employees are legally established. In particular, paras. 6 p. 1 art. 15 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 No. 79-FZ “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter - Law No. 79-FZ) stipulates that a civil servant is obliged, among other things, to maintain the level of qualification necessary for the proper performance of official duties. In the article, we consider the grounds for additional professional education of civil servants and the features of its receipt.

Additional vocational education is carried out through the implementation of additional professional programs (training programs and professional retraining programs). This is enshrined in Clause 6 of Order No. 499 , Part 2 Art. 76 Law No. 273-FZ, as well as Part 1 Art. 62 of Law No. 79-FZ.

The type, form and duration of additional professional education are established by the representative of the employer, depending on the group and category of the civil service position occupied by a civil servant, in the manner determined by Regulation, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 28, 2006 No. 1474 "On additional professional education of civil servants of the Russian Federation" (hereinafter - Regulation No. 1474). In accordance with this decree, professional retraining, advanced training and internships for civil servants are carried out in accordance with the State requirements for professional retraining, advanced training and internships for civil servants of the Russian Federation, approved Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 06.05.2008 No. 362(Further - Requirements No. 362).

Separate categories of civil servants, in addition to these documents, should also be guided by other legal acts. Thus, the organization of additional professional education for state civil servants of the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use is regulated by the Order of Rosnedra dated January 30, 2015 No. 16-k. Also, for example, obtaining additional education is enshrined in the Industry Agreement on Bodies and Organizations Federal Service state statistics for 2015 - 2017.

Note

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 11, 2008 No. 1307‑r approved approximate form state contract for professional retraining and advanced training of federal civil servants.

Recall that additional professional programs can be implemented in whole or in part in the form of an internship ( clause 6 of Regulation No. 1474).

Additional education of an employee is carried out during the entire period of his civil service. At the same time, this obligation is implemented by the representative of the employer, who determines the plan of measures related to the additional education of employees, as well as the financing of these activities at the expense of the relevant budgets.

The grounds for sending a civil servant to additional professional education are:

1. appointment of an employee to another civil service position in the order of promotion on a competitive basis;
2. inclusion of an employee in the personnel reserve on a competitive basis;
3. employee appraisal results;
4. appointment of an employee to another civil service position in connection with the reduction of civil service positions or the abolition of a state body ( pp. 2 p. 1 art. 31 of Law No. 79-FZ).

Form of study

In accordance with Part 5 Art. 17 Law No. 273-FZ forms of training for additional educational programs and basic professional training programs are determined by the organization carrying out educational activities independently, unless otherwise provided by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Thus, the volume of mastering an additional professional program is regulated Clause 12 of Order No. 499:

• for advanced training programs, the development period cannot be less than 16 hours;
• for professional retraining programs - less than 250 hours.

Additional professional education of a civil servant is carried out in any form of training provided for by the legislation on education with or without interruption from the performance of official duties in a civil service position to be substituted ( Part 9 of Art. 62 of Law No. 79-FZ).

According to Clause 2 of the Requirements№ 362 professional retraining and advanced training of civil servants are carried out using the possibilities of distance learning technologies, depending on the categories and groups of civil service positions:

• with a separation from the civil service (professional retraining and advanced training outside the territory of the Russian Federation, internships in the territory of the Russian Federation and abroad);
• with a partial separation from the civil service (up to three working days a week);
• without interruption (evening groups) from the state civil service of the Russian Federation.

note

Requirements No. 362 contain provisions on the passage of professional retraining and advanced training of civil servants with a partial separation from the civil service. However, this part of the requirements does not apply, because Federal Law No. 185-FZ the form of additional professional education with a partial separation from the state civil service has been abolished.

Professional retraining and advanced training of civil servants outside the normal length of service time are carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

It should be noted that the choice of the form of education depends on the amount of information received and the location of the body or organization in which the civil servant provides additional education.

However, one must take into account Clause 3 of Requirements No. 362, according to which the total classroom teaching load of civil servants per week should be:

• when training with a break from service - no more than 41 hours, taking into account the volume of the training load no more than 54 hours;
• when training on the job - at least 12 hours.

Professional retraining

According to Clause 9 of Requirements No. 362, as well as clause 4 of Regulation No. 1474 under the professional retraining of civil servants is understood the acquisition of additional knowledge and skills necessary for the implementation by civil servants of a new type of professional service activity.

That is, the purpose of professional retraining is to perform a new type of professional activity or obtaining additional qualifications.

It should be noted that employees who replace civil service positions of the category “assistants (advisers)”, “specialists” or “providing specialists” are sent for professional retraining, if they are appointed in the order of promotion to the civil service position of the category “leaders”. In this case, based on the results of professional retraining, employees may be awarded additional qualifications.

At the same time, the need for professional retraining by employees replacing civil service positions of the category “heads”, “assistants (advisers)” or “specialists” belonging to the highest and main groups of positions, as well as positions of the category “providing specialists” belonging to the main group positions, with the assignment of additional qualifications to them is determined by the employer.

For professional retraining, the following terms for mastering educational programs are established:

• more than 500 classroom hours for civil servants to perform a new type of professional activity;
• more than 1,000 hours (of which 75% are classroom hours) to obtain additional qualifications ( Clause 12 of Requirements No. 362).

It should be remembered that when mastering a professional retraining program, a civil servant may be credited with advanced training programs (internships), the development of which is confirmed by documents state standard received no later than three years prior to the commencement of studies in the relevant vocational retraining program.

Upon completion of educational programs for professional retraining, a mandatory state final examination, which provides for the final qualifying (attestation) work and an exam.

Positive results of this certification give the right to receive a diploma:

• on professional retraining - to persons who have completed training under a program of more than 500 classroom hours;
• on additional (to higher) education - to persons who have completed training in an additional professional educational program to obtain an additional qualification of more than 1,000 hours (in this case, a civil servant may apply for filling positions, the qualification requirements for which correspond to the profile of the education received).

Training

In accordance with Clause 17 of Requirements No. 362 advanced training of civil servants is updating the knowledge and improving the skills of civil servants with professional education, in connection with the increase in requirements for the level of their qualifications and the need for them to master new ways of solving professional problems.

note

According to clause 5 of Regulation No. 1474 a civil servant, first accepted to the position of the civil service, is sent for advanced training after probationary period or six months after entering the civil service. This rule is aimed, in particular, at the study by civil servants of the specifics of serving in a particular state body.

Employees are sent for advanced training if they are appointed in the order of promotion to a civil service position of another group within the same category of positions.

In a planned manner, advanced training of a civil servant is carried out as necessary, but at least once every three years ( Part 5 Art. 62 of Law No. 79-FZ).

Professional development can take place:

• in a short-term form (from 18 to 72 classroom hours) in order to master changes in specific issues of professional activity;
• in the form of a comprehensive update of knowledge to solve the relevant professional tasks (from 73 to 144 classroom hours). In this case, by analogy with professional retraining, a civil servant may be credited with sections of the short-term advanced training program, the development of which is confirmed by state documents received no later than three years before the start of training in the relevant advanced training program.

final stage advanced training is the final certification, after successful completion which civil servants are issued state documents: either a certificate of short-term advanced training, or a certificate of advanced training ( Clause 21 of Requirements No. 362).
