The idea of continuous education is a modern trend, therefore the educational process takes place with the use of non-formal education, which provides students with obtaining relevant practical and theoretical knowledge, skills, mastering modern methods of solving professional tasks, increasing the level of their professional competence, improving existing knowledge and their self-development.

The online course “Public procurement: from theory to practice” was prepared with the financial support of the EU as part of the implementation of the project “Support to the reform of public procurement in Ukraine”, giving students of higher education the opportunity to learn about the latest approaches and tools in the field of public procurement.

The comprehensive course contains information about the modern approach, trends, state policy based on the principles of the EU member states, the legal basis, the full cycle of public procurement – from planning and development of tender documentation/proposals to the execution of contracts and analysis of the effectiveness of procurement.
