The article analyzes modern forms of forensic experts’ training in terms of obtaining the necessary competencies. It additionally draws attention to the importance of building professional skills as a condition for admission to certification for the right to conduct independent expert activities. In this context, the author has reviewed a draft of a professional standard “Specialist in forensic examination”, which involves an introduction of an associate expert’s position as the first stage of professional development.
When implementing the comparative legal method and the comparative approach, the issues of structural organization of forensic activities in the Russian Federation have been investigated to ensure proper education and forensic experts’ training. Also, the author proposes some recommendations on optimization of such activities.
