If you want to become an advanced teacher who knows how to use modern professional tools and gain a competitive advantage in the labor market, contact us, we will tell you how to do this.
Why should you contact us?
Having worked in the field for 20 years, we have created a model of higher pedagogical education, which, through remote interaction, allows you to spend minimal time, effort and money without losing the volume and level of knowledge. Correspondence higher pedagogical education, organized according to standard patterns, cannot offer the flexibility that the pace of today's life requires from universities. With us you can:
- easily obtain higher education without the Unified State Exam: first you will study to become a teacher in secondary vocational programs, and then, also remotely, in master’s or bachelor’s degrees;

Distance pedagogical education is an opportunity to study while working, doing family and household affairs. You make your own schedule, focusing on your own rhythm of life.
What do we offer?
Citizens and non-residents of the Russian Federation can receive fundamental distance pedagogical education. We will help you choose a suitable university and accompany the student until graduation. To provide a package of documents, it is not necessary to come in person. Copies of your passport, existing diplomas, and photographs can be sent electronically, and exams can be taken remotely. Thanks to the distance learning form, it is possible to simultaneously supplement pedagogical education with practical experience while working fully. This is the most efficient use of time. There is no need to worry that when studying to become a teacher, your higher education will be incomplete due to the fact that you do not attend classes, but learn the material remotely. Students will have access to all lectures, and you will communicate with teachers during webinars and video conferences. After defense you will receive a diploma.

Another question is that not all Muscovites have the opportunity to receive a metropolitan-level education as a primary school teacher (what can we say about non-residents, foreigners). This is where a new training format comes to the rescue – distance learning mode.
Specialty "Preschool teacher"
At our university you can learn remotely not only the most in-demand profession of a primary school teacher. We offer students another promising direction - pedagogical education for working with preschoolers.
This specialty (“Preschool teacher”) is available via distance learning:
- training programs comply with the requirements of laws/regulations;
- Graduates of all forms receive the same diploma (Moscow, state-issued, meeting the standards/requirements of the international market).
What exams will you need to take?
The conditions for admission do not change depending on the choice of form of study. Applicants wishing to obtain a sought-after profession fill out a single application template indicating the Unified State Exam results in three subjects:
- Russian language;
- mathematics;
- biology.
Admission to the Faculty of Pedagogy is carried out if the total score in the listed disciplines is sufficient.
The relevance of training in the most modern form of training
The remote professional training platform (MegaCampus) was introduced in 2006. Over the 10+ years of its operation, we have stated that interest in this format is growing, and there are many reasons for this:
- remote study allows you to combine work, study, everyday life, and research;
- higher pedagogical education with distance learning is a convenient, often the only accessible way for foreigners and out-of-town students to obtain a Moscow diploma;
- Studying online is comfortable: all materials are at hand, you can get advice as questions arise, there is no tedious schedule/regime of attending classes.
Every year, our distance learning resources involve more than 30 thousand people. The opinions of the participants are clear: the remote format is the future of professional education without restrictions (temporal, geographical). Plus, the cost of online education is much lower.
How long does it take to study to become a teacher remotely?
The university program was developed by the strongest specialists in the teaching industry. We have built a system for training future teachers in such a way as to fully comply with the requirements of Gosstandart and optimize the load on students, ensuring complete immersion in practice, research, and profession. The duration of distance learning as a teacher of primary and preschool classes at a bachelor's degree is 4 years 6 months.
What does a student need for distance learning?
The same rules apply to a deleted form as to any other form. Anyone can shorten their studies - it all depends on the interest shown, achievements in the work field, and interest. These moments determine the success of training. Among other conditions for remote study in Moscow, it should be noted:
- technical factors: computer + Internet (standard speed, optimally from 20–70 Mbit/sec);
- software resource (online courses are available via Skype connection), Youtube account, it is useful for active students to install popular communicators;
- the right attitude: taking into account specific conditions (family, work, habits), you should draw up a schedule of classes in advance.
Distance learning gives freedom of action, solves the problem of being tied to a given routine, but requires self-discipline, a responsible approach, and self-control.
Where and who to work after graduating from university
The demand for teachers in the Russian Federation is enormous; their employment is not limited to activities in city schools and kindergartens. Our graduates work as tutors, educators, defectologists, methodologists, and social teachers.
Many prefer their own business - they organize privileged children's educational institutions and engage in private practice. There are prospects for growth: there are enough leadership positions in the field of education (including at the level of government services and ministries).
Our country is “famous” for its traditions and largely conservative way of life: everything new is very difficult and sometimes with great difficulty and distrust.
It took many years to prove that distance education is no worse than classical education, and is superior in many respects: price, quality, training time, geographical boundaries, etc.
- this is, in fact, the same distance learning, which involves independent preparation by the student. It doesn’t matter where you live, and whether you have a lot of money or not: the price of such distance pedagogical training is affordable for every student, and there is no need to “take time off” from work, since you can study at a time convenient for you.
Upon completion of distance learning (retraining), you will be issued a diploma in the standard format established by the state, which will be sent to you by registered mail. This diploma is a state document conferring your qualifications and acts in exactly the same way as a regular diploma from a university.
It was already mentioned above that thanks to this method it is possible to combine your work with training, and study at home and at any time available to you. You can build a training program for yourself based on your individual characteristics.
What is required for this form of training?
In order to enroll in professional retraining remotely, you must have completed higher or secondary vocational education (requirements of the Federal Law “On Education” No. 273).
If you already meet these requirements, then you can enroll in vocational training (retraining). The profile of your previous education will not matter in this case, the main thing is that you have it.
- You choose which one you would like to receive and leave a request for distance learning online. In response, you will receive a letter from the admissions committee managers with documents and instructions. Having filled them out and paid the receipt, you can begin training.
- The following will be sent to your email: lectures, teaching materials, access to online libraries and assignments to complete. You complete them and send them to your supervisor, who throughout your training answers your questions and helps you.
- After successful completion of your studies, you will receive a state diploma through Russian Post (by registered mail to your address). With this, your goal of obtaining a teacher education remotely has been achieved!
Upon receiving, everyone has the opportunity to work in a good, prestigious place. The main thing is not to forget to check that the educational center has a license for educational activities, so that your diploma is real, and not a “certificate” of taking courses. On our website and even check it personally on the open data portal of the Moscow government.
Pedagogy is a very broad concept. In the memory of most of us, the phrase “pedagogical institute” is firmly associated with the profession of a school teacher or kindergarten teacher. Many do not even suspect that they are graduating psychologists, speech pathologists, linguists... In recent years, psychological and pedagogical education has become increasingly popular, and the prestige of social work in the field of education has increased.
TOP 10 popular specialties:
If we are guided by the average passing score of the Unified State Examination, the most popular among applicants to pedagogical universities in 2011 were sociology, economics, foreign languages, philology and linguistics, as well as psychology. And this is not surprising. After all, a sociologist or economist can find a prestigious and highly paid job not only at school. And there is nothing to say about foreign languages; serious employers will tear off a person with a deep professional knowledge of several languages. In the field of linguistics, a diploma from a pedagogical institute carries very good weight. Competition for these specialties reaches 7 people per budget place.
Professions related to the fine arts are also highly rated; the total Unified State Exam score here reaches 178. Most likely, this is due to the limited number of places for applicants, because not all teachers are engaged in training creative people. The competition here is not very big - only 3 people per place, but it should be taken into account that in addition to good grades, an applicant cannot do without artistic abilities - no one has canceled the creative competition.
But what to do if the Unified State Examination does not reach the required score, and since the 1st grade you have dreamed of becoming a teacher and are firmly convinced that teaching is your calling?
Then it’s a good idea to think about the profession of a music worker, social teacher or primary school teacher. In order to begin training in these specialties, you will need a Unified State Examination score not exceeding 110 points.
By the way, if we ignore the dry score statistics, over the last 10 years the professions of primary school teachers and preschool teachers have been steadily gaining popularity and the competition for these specialties never drops below 3 people per budget place.
Why? Firstly, if you decide to give your skills and love to the kids, you will never be left without work: the birth rate in Russia is now higher than ever, and secondly, education is very versatile - the first educator and the first teacher do not teach highly specialized subjects, but introduce our little ones to the huge and endlessly interesting world around us. It often happens that communication with kindergarten and elementary school employees determines the entire future path of a little person, because, in fact, these are the first adults with whom the child communicates almost as closely as with his parents.
I would become a teacher... Where do future teachers study?
Applicants wishing to obtain higher pedagogical education in Moscow have a fairly wide choice. , which offer their services in teaching certain pedagogical specialties on a budgetary basis, contains more than 130 universities, academies and institutes. True, there are not many institutes in which professional pedagogical education is the main direction, and not one of the various specialties in any department.
According to a survey by the website QIP.ru, Moscow Pedagogical State University takes first place in the ranking by a large margin (31,248 votes). This is one of the oldest pedagogical institutes, producing teachers of various specializations for more than 130 years.
By the way, if you did not pass the Unified State Exam as well as you would like, and the points scored are not enough for admission to the chosen institute, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the requirements of other pedagogical institutions; perhaps they do not have such strict requirements for applicants for the coveted specialty.
