It has been determined that "quest" as a technology of training in institutes of higher education provides for research and project activities of students. Within this activity, while performing certain tasks students carry out the search of information, analyze it, and summarize. The classification of educational quests (by I.

The various types of quest training tasks that are most appropriate for use in higher education institutions are listed. The atttention is also paid to the requirements for the organization of training using such technology. The performed study shows that the use of quests in student training has a great perspective. Educational quests have a positive influence on preparation for future professional activity; redound to the formation of cultural and professional competences; form responsibility for the decisions made; prepare for the possible risks in life and the profession. The introduction of the practice of the use of quest technologies in the educational process of institutions of higher education makes it possible to build a new design of the educational space of the institutes of higher education, which meets the needs of students of generation Z.
