I examine one of the urgent problems of the system of additional education in our country. Insufficiency of such important component as the professional development of specialists, including metrology specialists. In my opinion, a great contribution in the solution of this problem can make ASMS — the leader of domestic additional education. More than 200 thousand domestic and about 6 thousand foreign specialists- metrologists have already passed training at the metrology departments of the Academy. In recent years, the departments have moved to the modular principle of training, taking into maximum account the individual interests of the listeners and needs of the customer companies, the great work is being done to provide methodological support for the long-distance education of students who can improve their qualifications on the job.
