Changes in the socio-economic life of modern society could not but entail changes in the field of education. In accordance with the federal state educational standards of higher professional education (FSES HPE), the students' training in any specialty involves the formation of certain competencies that determine the most effective implementation of future professional activities. In the course of professional training, young specialists should develop knowledge, as well as skills that will enable the university graduate effectively implement them in the future profession, and the ability to orient in related areas of professional activity. After analysis of different studies on this issue, we suggested that the use of information technology affects both the level of knowledge among students and the formation of professional competence of graduates in the system of higher professional education. The technology contributes to the development of creative thinking and the acquisition of selfeducation skills in various activities, consisting of the search, evaluation and further use of the necessary information [3]
