The training project level can be estimated by examining students’ final qualification works. The paper demonstrates a set of indicators for estimating the quality of designing and training activities of the graduates. The implementation of the RUMM 2030 program and mathematical statistics tools based on the Rasch model of quality measurement is substantiated.The above method approbation regarding the estimation of the latent variables of training and designing activity of prospective vocational teachers demonstrates that the recommended quality criteria, referred to as indicators, can be used in the competence assessment of the future teachers-designers.
