The main focus is on the subject “Page planning and layout” (the teacher - Vernigora N. M.) as one of the main areas of development of professional skills of future specialists in this publishing niche. A more profound analysis of the discipline can determine its contribution to formation of the competence of students, to consider in detail what competence is given to attention and to compare the preparatory program of different higher schools in order to derive the most correct formulation of the basic curriculum. It is disclosed in the general practical side of the editor's training with the help of new technologies and changing views in the educational environment on his/her role in publishing sector as training a competent editor capable to be effective outside the classroom and to solve typical and problem tasks in his/her own professional activities is a guarantee of a successful publishing process. Such an approach provides for formation of environment in which the students use the acquired theoretical knowledge to work on publishing a multifaceted product of different difficulty level. Updating the technical base of universities creates a platform for introduction of new disciplines using the modern technologies, although there are still the problems in higher education institutions on the way of this process. The practical-oriented disciplines make it possible to make education process of students more cognitive and creative in which their educational activities will be successful, and their knowledge will be in request.
