The article discusses the formation of different professional competences which use electronic tutorials for teaching electro-technical disciplines. In large part, it unveils the need for a qualitatively new training campaign in technical secondary (vocational) schools, development of practical skills in the early stage of studying electrical engineering disciplines, implementation of innovative teaching methods, and applying information-technology (InT)-based techniques alongside traditional methods of instruction. The latter would require a change in the teaching agenda and the acceptable training context in secondary schools and in professional faculties. In the e-field, the document urges the application of e-learning systems, and considers the use of adaptive testing in the formation of professional competence for electronics and electrical engineering students studying in specialized secondary schools. At this stage, the research paper brings into consideration a comparative analysis used in teaching software for the subject of ’Applied Electronics.’ In conclusion, the blueprint justifies the need for a computer training program, which should simulate the operation of equipment at different class levels and enable its users to adjust rapidly to a full range of professional competences under the influence of new InT-oriented techniques or when faced with a prospective change in content of the training material.
