The purpose of the study: to improve the quality of training of adult learners by 40%.Materials and methods. In the course of conducting this research and writing the article, such methods as empirical data analysis, synthesis, questionnaire survey methods, logical and contextual analysis, bibliographic search, SWOT analysis, methods of working with specialized software products and web services, methods of comparison and matching, monographic research, analysis of documents was widely used, testing method, etc. The methodological apparatus of the study is a synthesis of such approaches that allow us to consider the provision of civil protection of the population, its training and education as an interdependent and interrelated system, in the functioning of which both state structures and local self-government bodies participate.The results of the study can be presented in the form of new business processes that will provide an opportunity to increase the percentage of students’ academic performance. The introduction into the educational process of entrance testing, innovative dictation with the inclusion of questions of entrance testing and the material passed, diagnostic and final testing, has clear advantages. The level of motivation of adult learners increases, the possibility of designing and forecasting the educational process at the modern level of education is realized, the possibility of organizing more effective forms of interaction between the lecturer and students, which ultimately leads to the effectiveness of training students in the field of civil defense and protection from emergencies.Conclusion. The system being created in the Achinsk branch of the “Institute of Regional Security” for the introduction of new business processes in the education of adult learners is based on a significant number of arguments, the main of which we present in our paper. We believe that a significant difference between tests and traditional methods of training adult learners is that they make it possible to determine the level of knowledge at the initial stage of training in the field of civil defense and protection from emergency situations, put all trainees on an equal footing. Tests are used as a measuring tool; make it possible to determine the level of assimilation of key concepts. Training students using tests makes it possible to cover several topics and sections of the curriculum at the same time. Further expansion of the range of tools used to assess and ensure the quality of education within the electronic information and educational environment allows you to organize a relatively painless transition for outlying towns and districts to a remote learning format using distance-learning technologies.
