The article deals with the implementation of the experience of future railway experts training into the modern education process. The author underlines that the problem of the railway experts training is relevant during the whole period of the existence of the railway educational institutions. The burning questions are as follows: the continuity of the academic syllabi and curriculums at the different levels of the education, the correspondence of the training level to the labour conditions and railroad requirements, the dual education system, etc. In the past (the second half of the XX) the process of railway experts training was stipulated by several factors. One of them was the scientific and technical development of railway transport (for instance, the replacement of steam trains and diesel locomotives with electrical locomotives; the application of automatic systems in the railway operation, etc.). Another factor is railroad enterprise requirements (as the railway transport develops the enterprises need more qualified workers or employees with some new qualification). Thus, the railway industry required new skilled workers and the institution of railway education aimed at the training of skilled workers for different railroad branches. To achieve the aim vocational schools launched new majors and created new academic syllabi and curriculum which were relevant for the railway requirements. The author summarizes that taking into account the previous historical background, it would make sense to arrange future railway experts training at enterprises with the participation of the employees who work at the enterprise. Training within the industry has to take more than half of the total teaching hours. Such an approach provides balanced acquirement by hard and soft skills: professional knowledge and abilities, necessary key competencies as well as communicative skills, teamwork, critical thinking, etc. The author offers the draft syllabus which can be used for railway experts training within the dual education system programme.
