To a new approach to professional analysts training

The article is devoted to the situation with the training of professional analysts that exists today in the educational space of Russia. The authors propose fundamentally new approach to teaching, based on the basic principles developed by the authors of the article for many years of research and analytical and teaching practice in the leading universities of the country, mainly in the system of additional professional education. The paper shows that its implementation into the virtual educational sphere (using the competency-based approach with an emphasis on an individual approach to each potential analyst) will create an active knowledge environment based on the joint solution of complex applied analytical tasks. It also will form a counter movement on the part of managers in their understanding of the professional outlook of analysts and the value of their analytical products.
