Abstract
The heightened need of law enforcers in forensic examination production has led to an increase in the number of governmental and non-governmental forensic organizations, as well as in the demand for expert training of more professional staff, including private experts. This training can be provided through both higher and additional professional education. For all levels of expert training, an important point is the development of practical skills, which can be implemented using both traditional and innovative modes of training. The possibility of using e-learning, including the use of virtual learning complexes, is provided for by the current legislation of the Russian Federation and is presently considered one of the priorities. The “Virtual Criminalist” educational and methodological complex can be used to develop practical skills among students.
