Abstract
The article discusses some aspects of additional professional education for forensic experts from different ministries conducting forensic activities. The authors believe that the the problems existing in this are systemic and hinder the implementation of the provisions of the Federal legislation on a unified scientific and methodological approach to forensic practice, professional training, and specialization of forensic experts. To implement the provisions of the law, the authors propose to organize an interdepartmental center for the additional professional education of forensic experts for the employees of state forensic institutions of various ministries and departments, as well as non-governmental examiners and foreign specialists. The concept of the center is described.
