Re-training of servicemen transferred to the reserve. Problems of the implementation by contract military personnel of the right to professional retraining when they are discharged from military service

Retraining of servicemen before dismissal is a federal program and operates throughout the country. If necessary, a soldier who is retired from an active contract service can undergo training in a civilian specialty. The law allows you to attend a military university free of charge, but with the requirement that the university belongs to the Ministry of Defense.

What it is

The basis of the program is set in by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation on October 21, 2015 No. 630(on the procedure and conditions for professional retraining in one of the civilian specialties). The kits themselves are produced on half-yearly basis. Each enrollment goes according to the group distribution, which refers to the different universities of the Moscow region.

The order also regulates the procedure for enrolling military personnel in training groups.

Important! A soldier should not have disciplinary sanctions and other negative aspects, which in the future are the basis for dismissal.

Lists of military personnel who express a desire to undergo retraining in a civilian direction should be drawn up before the training period and transferred to the necessary educational institution located in the immediate vicinity of the places of service.

The training itself has two forms: full-time and part-time.

It should be borne in mind that in order to undergo retraining, you will need to follow the standard enrollment procedure.

Retraining has been introduced for more comprehensive social protection of officers and other categories of servicemen. After retraining, which consists in passing the courses, it is possible to enter the selected educational institution on preferential terms. Also, a significant plus is the assistance of the university in further employment after the end of the service.

If you wish to undergo retraining, a soldier receives a special certificate for a quota. If the chosen specialty goes beyond the scope of the free program, then the serviceman himself must pay off the financial difference.

Training is carried out in various directions. Currently, there is an opportunity to acquire more than 60 professions.

Important! The list of budget areas varies in each higher education institution.

Procedure

For retraining, the desire of a soldier is required. This is the main point. If there is a desire to acquire a civilian specialty, the procedure has a standard form:

• a report is written to the name of the immediate commander;
• the superiors give a resolution on the report and add the soldier to the lists for training;
• a documentation package is sent to the educational institution;
• enrollment for training at a certain time is established for the serviceman himself;
• after retraining, a soldier leaves for the reserve, already having a civilian specialty.

Important! The documents are sent to the military university by the immediate superior of the military personnel who are undergoing retraining.

List of documents that are provided to an educational institution:

• list of those who are credited;
• copies of reports;
• the resolution of the chief for each report;
• available diploma of each soldier.

In the future, the form of training for the selected training group is established for each serviceman.

After completing the retraining, the serviceman receives state-recognized documents, which indicate the availability of a specialty.

Peculiarities

Not all military personnel can apply for retraining. There are also nuances that relate to the moments of dismissal. For example, there is a list of circumstances that allow you to take a civilian-type course. All other termination options will not work.

The requirement for candidates for retraining is that a soldier must have at least five years of experience. At the same time, the training time of the professional type is not included in this period.

Retraining can be carried out in the following cases:

• upon reaching the age limit for their category (training is carried out in the year when this limit is reached);
• if the service life of the military type expires;
• with medical problems (for health reasons);
• with organizational and staffing measures, including staff reductions.

Important! Basically, retraining is used by officers who have previously completed special military education. For other categories of military personnel, retraining is rarely used.

List of documents:

• a report indicating all data, including position and rank, as well as the total duration of service in the sun;
• copy of the diploma;
• a copy of the officer's license, if any;
• the resolution of the leadership in conjunction with the list in which the soldier is included.

The report should also indicate:

• education;
• name of a civilian specialty with a qualification that is available;
• basis for retraining;
• telephones (personal and business).

All documents must be submitted to the personnel department in person or through the immediate commander. In the future, they are sent from there to the required educational institution.

There are no entrance exams for retraining. But there is one caveat. Retraining on a budgetary basis is possible only in relation to one specialty in a one-time option.

The standard training time does not exceed 4 months. The minimum retraining time is 250 hours.

In a number of educational institutions, distance learning is possible, which has replaced the distance learning option.

After the final certification, the soldier will receive a diploma that will allow him to work in his specialty. The very fact of receiving retraining is entered into the personal file of a serviceman.

If necessary, retiring military personnel can receive retraining, which includes obtaining a civilian specialty, chosen independently. The process of passing is regulated by a special order and is established for all federal territories of the Russian Federation.

The program, according to which the retraining of military personnel is being implemented, was introduced several years ago in an experimental mode. In view of its success, they decided to continue it. At the request of the military, before dismissal, they are given the opportunity to undergo one of 60 types of professional retraining.

For this, courses were opened in the largest garrisons. The conscripts who served in remote locations could be trained through the arrival of mobile groups of teachers from leading educational institutions. Additional education is provided free of charge by universities under the country's Ministry of Defense.

The purpose and purpose of professional retraining

The retraining is organized in order to provide social protection for officers who are dismissed due to the reduction of the Armed Forces or for other reasons (more on that below), as well as their families, and the implementation of state support for obtaining the most popular specialties "in civilian life". During the course of the program, thousands of officers, as well as members of their families, managed to take advantage of the state's support, having completed courses in the army, and found a job in a new specialty. This activity continues in different regions of the country.

Universities, where retraining is carried out, provide an opportunity not only to obtain a civilian specialty, but also facilitate the issues of applying for a job. In addition to training, on the courses you can get legal advice, participate in various forums, conferences and other events. Retraining of willing military personnel transferred to the reserve is carried out in the following areas:

• organization of accounting and audit;
• public administration;
• taxation;
• personnel management;
• organisation management;
• information Technology;
• Information Security;
• digital technologies (in communication systems);
• radio engineering;
• small business management;
• jurisprudence and more.

The civilian adaptation of the military is not limited to taking courses. If they wish, they can enter a university for higher education on preferential terms.

Who is eligible for retraining upon dismissal

According to the Law "On the Status of Servicemen", those who are liable for military service directly in the year of dismissal have the right to professional retraining, and various conditions must be observed, including the following:

• the service life must be 5 years or more (the time of study in professional military institutions does not count towards this period);
• the reason for the dismissal is the unsatisfactory state of health;
• the age limit for a soldier;
• end of service life;
• events organized as usual.

Professional retraining is carried out free of charge, while those liable for military service retain their allowance in accordance with documents approved by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation or other state agency of the federal level of government. The duration of training is up to 4 months, but not less than 250 hours. Even if dismissal occurs during this time, the training can be completed free of charge as well.

Age limit

This indicator is one of the grounds that gives the right to receive professional retraining in a civilian specialty. It is regulated by the Law on Military Duty and Military Service. (Federal Law No. 53). In addition, some provisions regarding this issue can be found in Presidential Decree No. 1237.

Previously, the age limit was 45 years, however, since 2014 it has increased by another 5 years. Currently, 45 is the age limit for female military personnel only. Thus, for ranks below colonels and captains of the first rank, the age limit for service is 50 years. For higher military ranks, it ranges from 55 years old to 65 years old.

However, officers who wish to pursue a career in the army can extend their service life by concluding a new contract. This period can be from one to 10 years, and the decision is made after checking how conscientiously the servicemen performed their duties, as well as his professional skills and state of health. If there is a desire to go to civilian life, then a military man can prepare himself by going through the appropriate retraining. Meanwhile, the pension provision and the retention of all benefits for him remains in any case.

The procedure for the retraining of reserve military personnel

The enrollment of those liable for military service in groups for passing special courses is carried out on the basis of the corresponding Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the list of servicemen who decided to acquire one of the civilian specialties, copies of their reports with the resolutions of commanders and diplomas on education that they received earlier, are sent to universities, where it is planned to conduct retraining courses for the military.

At the time of the dismissal of a soldier on one of the grounds that makes it possible to obtain a civilian specialty according to the program in question, a certificate is issued. The document states that he has the right to undergo professional retraining at the university of his choice under the Ministry of Defense of the country. If the price for training is higher than the standards for monetary deductions that are provided under the state program, the military must pay the difference from personal funds, and free training does not apply to other universities in the country, although they establish preferential conditions for military personnel.

The procedure for enrolling in free courses is as follows. First, the military must send a photocopy of his passport, education certificate, and a report to the personnel department. The form of study can be different: both full-time and evening or part-time. No entrance exams are required.

In addition to the civilian orientation, an employee can acquire a new military specialization. So, up to 50 years old, a military man can receive an official call for the appropriate training camp, where the training course will be carried out.

In accordance with the stipulated norms, after the submission of the papers, the command of the institution where the soldier wants to study sends a notification to the HF. It contains the form, time and place of the retraining. After that, the commander gives the future listener the appropriate direction, and in the high-frequency department they issue an order.

During the course of training, course participants are seconded and are on a business trip. Thus, they retain their rank, wages, travel allowances, and other types of allowance.

Results of the procedure

When deciding to receive a civilian specialty through retraining within the framework of a special state program, a soldier should take into account the following. He is not entitled to use the state program if he resigns from service for reasons other than those indicated above, the same applies to the issue of military mortgages.

Servicemen who meet the necessary conditions for retraining, after completing these programs, have a real chance of finding a job in the chosen civilian specialties. If during their studies they show themselves properly, they can count on the assistance of the university in finding a job or receiving recommendations.

Studies show that half of the surveyed military personnel transferred to the reserve are going to work in state-owned enterprises. About 10% expect to find a job in a foreign company, 2% plan to start their own business, another 2% are not going to work at all, and 22% found it difficult to answer the question. For the remaining 10% of the respondents, it does not matter where to work.

Among the most priority parameters for future work, servicemen see for themselves worthy remuneration, as well as stability. Other important parameters include a good team, the ability to move up the career ladder, free planning of your work schedule, as well as the simplicity of the work performed.

Based on the results of a comprehensive study, it can be concluded that the dismissed persons liable for military service have good conditions for receiving retraining or advanced training. Half of those who completed the training are satisfied with the courses and the chosen specialty. About ⅔ who are doing military service expect to receive new knowledge later in order to easily get a job in a civilian specialty, but not everyone has sufficient awareness of the opportunity provided by the state.

In 2009, an experiment was launched in the Russian Federation, within the framework of which, the military, transferred to the reserve, could, if desired, undergo one of 60 professional retraining programs in order to master relevant professions related to the technical, managerial and even ICT spheres. Retraining courses were opened directly in the largest garrisons. And the military, who served in especially remote settlements, could undergo training thanks to mobile visiting groups of teachers from the leading universities of the Ministry of Defense. More than 30 universities took part in this program then.

This practice turned out to be successful and it was decided to extend the experiment in subsequent years. This is how the retraining of servicemen is carried out in 2015. The bottom line is:

• The program is attended by military personnel who have completed military vocational education or vocational education with a total general experience of service of 5 years, provided that they are retired not because of their violation of the charter or legal norms;
• At the time of exclusion of a serviceman who meets the above criteria from the lists of personnel, he is provided with a special certificate indicating that he can take a professional retraining course free of charge at any university of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. If the cost of completing the training program exceeds the standards, the military must compensate for the difference in price through personal savings.

Please note that retraining on a budgetary basis for military personnel is still not possible in all universities of the Russian Federation. It is guaranteed that free training is provided only in military educational institutions of Russia.

At the same time, various civilian universities can offer servicemen, who are being transferred to the reserve, preferential conditions for undergoing retraining programs and even provide them with assistance services in further employment.

Examples and content of such training programs

It should be noted that the content of retraining programs for military personnel is no different from the content of similar courses in the same specialties for civilians.

3. Military University (Moscow);
4. VARVSN them. Peter the Great (Moscow);

The specifics of the implementation of military retraining programs

To enroll in a retraining course under the budget program, a soldier should submit to the personnel department of his unit a copy of an identity card, a corresponding report on and a copy of a certificate of professional education. Studying can take place in full-time, distance learning or the so-called evening form of education. In addition, retraining of servicemen transferred to the reserve, after their dismissal, can also be carried out according to the military profile. If you are a former career military "civilian" and senior government officials decide to update your military professional skills or teach you a new military specialty, before you turn 50, you may receive an official call for military training, where you will have to complete the appropriate training course.

As for this particular year, in accordance with the criteria of order No. 95 (2009) of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, as amended by orders No. 406 (2010), No. 313 (2011) and No. 494 (2013), retraining of military personnel will be implemented after the implementation of the recruitment of trainees that meet the necessary criteria. The enrollment for the courses will be completed in the first half of 2015.

Law No. 76-FZ (27.05.1998) defines that citizens who serve in the Armed Forces in accordance with the concluded contract are considered military personnel if their total length of service is 5 years or more. In this particular case, when calculating the amount of the available total length of service, the duration of training in specialized military secondary schools (universities) is not taken into account. In the year of dismissal, officers can undergo professional retraining free of charge in order to obtain a full-fledged civilian specialty, which gives them the right to carry out a new type of labor activity. In the process of learning, they retain all types of contentment. If at the time of such retraining the officer is still on duty, the training period for him should be no more than 4 calendar months. If, in the process of going through a retraining program, one or another particular soldier is fired into the reserve, he, with full right, can complete training on a budgetary basis.

According to the established norms, after the servicemen have submitted all the necessary documents, the command of the educational institution, on the basis of which the retraining programs are implemented, sends to the military unit where the applicant is serving for participation in the professional retraining course, a written notification indicating the form, method, place and date of the learning. If it is determined that a soldier will undergo the DPO program in the evening form of training, then the commander of the part of this potential student of the course issues a special direction to the soldier, and a corresponding order is issued in the unit itself.

Military personnel undergoing professional retraining programs are considered seconded during the course of the course and in fact are on a business trip with all the ensuing circumstances (retention of rank, salary, travel allowances and all required types of allowance).

Professional retraining of dismissed military personnel

I quit when my contract expires. He expressed a desire to undergo professional retraining in the civilian specialty at the DVOKU in Blagoveshchensk. Training takes place in full-time and part-time form in the period from 02/01/2016 to 05/28/2016. According to the order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of October 21, 2015 No. 630 p. 2 clause 10, servicemen enrolled in vocational training programs during the training period are considered seconded from the military parts. I only have time for the setup fee, midterm grades, and final grading, for a total of one month out of four. The rest of the time, I fulfill all official and special duties in full without providing time for independent study of the educational material issued by the teaching staff. My report on the removal from me of my official and special duties and giving me time for independent training was rejected, after which the chief engineer of the unit of the sub-unit Valery Shuvalov began accusations of my refusal to serve, about the inconsistency of my position, as well as expressing personal hostility to me in the presence of other servicemen of the unit. I believe that my rights in conducting high-quality professional retraining have been completely violated. I ask you to understand this issue. Respectfully yours, Mr. Shilov S.S.

For servicemen for whom the correspondence form of training is determined by the notification, the personnel body informs the start dates and the place of professional retraining, which are established by them in agreement with the head of the educational organization.

If you refuse, file a complaint with the HSV or the garrison court.

In this regard, report to the commander and indicate the need to conduct an administrative investigation into these facts.

He can't blame anyone

Apply with a report to the commander with the requirement to plan and send you for retraining at another time, since you are essentially deprived of it. Subsequently, in court, you will demand restoration in the service, since the retraining was not done through the fault of the command. Now the main thing is to fix the violations

Forum for Mutual Legal Assistance of Servicemen

I will finish the story about the major, which began here. Retraining of dismissed in civilian specialties
In early November, after he found out about the expulsion during the PP period, I dashed off to inform him to the prosecutor's office and he kicked her through the website of the prosecutor's office in the Main Department of Internal Affairs and the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Southern Military District. As a result, the Volgograd GVP was sorted out.
He arrived on December 24 at the unit after the PP. By this time, already in the unit and the higher unit (which is with Alushta) there were representations of the VP regarding the non-delivery of the prescription to the place of registration and the failure to provide additional. leave for 2016 (veteran). Well, as usual. all veteivato is written, a violation is simply stated. So what is it. no expulsion order has been issued, nothing has been done, actions by their superiors (with Alushta) are awaiting in the regiment. In short, in the end, the major writes the numbers from December 27 to additional. vacation for 2016, he is "prompted" by cadre cretins that you are still entitled to an additional one and for 2017 plus another 4 days of the main one for the month served, on the road. In general, he leaves for Balashikha with a vacation ticket, makes notes on arrival and departure. In general, she is on vacation until January 31, 2017.
Bottom line: only by the date of the order of January 31, all its exceptions in October are canceled, January 31 is excluded, they indicate the provision of basic and additional holidays for 2017, etc.
In general, idiots walk the streets in droves. and in the army cadres they are also going to
it was not possible, however, for at least one day to go to pure service in 2017
But nevertheless let's try checkmate. help to recapture for 2017, since vacations for 2017 were granted, although due to the stupidity of the personnel officers, but nevertheless, according to a separate report, by a separate order, and not by an order of exclusion. So the situation does not fall under the case of non-payment of the MP under the PMO 2700 "when the vacation ends next year upon dismissal."
Here's a story with a good ending. True, the money for October-January has not yet been transferred naturally.

Or - the fulfillment of the requirements of the commander of the military unit upon arrival at the morning formation did not in any way affect the implementation of the applicant's right to pass the checkpoint.

Everything, of course, IMHO

The legal position of a lawyer depends on the position he holds.
A lawyer always has his own legal position, but he does not always agree with it.

Following this logic, we can assume that nothing prevents a soldier from performing his official duties on vacation.
In fact, an order was issued to send a soldier for retraining to another city, an order was issued in an educational institution to enroll a soldier in retraining courses in full-time and part-time education.

a2712ndrey wrote: The source of the quote on vacation does not prevent a soldier from performing his official duties

You should be given a link to the court decision, where the following is written (I quote)
"The argument of the complaint that, during the period of professional retraining, Lukin performed the duties of military service, is untenable, since a serviceman. while on vacation, bears the general duties of military service. "
As regards official duties, the judge decided not to write, but about general ones - yes, please!

It is still a GREAT luck that such an order has been issued and you are aware of the existence of such an order. You just need to quickly take an extract from such an order.

Hello!
Is the commander's refusal to be sent for retraining legal due to the fact that the chosen courses began on 09.01, and the report was written on 13.01?

finaev wrote. can it be implemented in the second half of the year?

Why not? Only write a report in advance. On the basis of the data submitted by your personnel authorities, study groups are formed at the educational institution, the number of students in them is limited. After the groups are formed, a call will be sent to the unit, on the basis of which you will be sent for retraining.

The right to retraining upon termination of employment

I am a soldier, subject to dismissal from military service next year upon reaching the age limit. Am I eligible for retraining and where should I go with a report?

The senior assistant to the military prosecutor of the Baltic Fleet, Colonel of Justice, A.V. Vasiliev, answers the question.

In pursuance of the Federal Law of May 27, 1998 No. 76-FZ "On the Status of Servicemen", on November 12, 2015, the Ministry of Justice of Russia registered a new Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 630 of October 21, 2015 "On the procedure and conditions for professional retraining in one of the civilian specialties. certain categories of servicemen - citizens of the Russian Federation, doing military service under a contract ”. The order comes into force on November 28, 2015. This order defines the procedure and conditions for professional retraining in one of the civilian specialties of servicemen - citizens of the Russian Federation, doing military service under a contract.

Professional retraining is carried out on condition that the total duration of military service of a soldier in calendar terms is 5 years or more (not counting the time of study in military professional educational organizations and military educational institutions of higher education) in the year of dismissal from military service upon reaching the age limit for military service, expiration term of military service, health status or in connection with organizational and staff activities.

It has been established that retraining in one of the civilian specialties is carried out by the military educational organization of higher education of the Ministry of Defense of Russia under additional professional professional retraining programs lasting up to 4 months. Retraining is carried out in full-time, part-time and part-time forms of education.

Servicemen who have expressed a desire to undergo professional retraining submit a report to the commanders (chiefs) of military units. In this case, the report must be submitted by the dismissed from military service:

upon reaching the age limit for military service or after the expiration of the military service - no earlier than one year before the age limit for military service or the expiration of the contract, taking into account the timeframes that ensure their direction for professional retraining during military service;
