The assessment of the levels of professional competence formation was carried out on the basis of the responses of their direct commanders (the heads of the border guard departments, the heads of the state border protection bodies).

The statistical verification of the study results was performed using the multifunctional statistical Fisher angular transformation criterion. Because of the implementation of the professional competence formation program in 2017, the following results were obtained in the NASBGSU educational process: the percentage of persons with the excellent and good indicators increased significantly. The reliability of the mathematical calculations was 96-97%.
