The duration of training at the Academy for students entering the prosecutor's office, the anti-corruption service and the economic investigation service is five months.

A contract containing the basic rights and obligations of the parties is signed with persons enrolled in initial vocational training.

Sample contract

While studying at the Academy, students:

• must live in the university dormitory (roomy rooms with showers and toilets for 4 people, leisure and public service rooms, a dining room);
• are provided with food and a stipend (established by the Government).

Food, accommodation and stipend are provided by the state.

Training takes place according to an approved curriculum that provides for the development of 5 core competencies (industry-wide, information, communication, writing, professional). Classes are provided in the gym, shooting range, computer classes, as well as drill training. Particular attention is paid to educational work.

Persons who have completed initial professional training are enrolled in the cadres of the law enforcement agency in the field of activity of which the training was completed.

When they are appointed to a position in a law enforcement agency, the period of professional training is counted towards the length of service in law enforcement (length of service).

Persons who have completed initial vocational training are required to serve in law enforcement agencies for at least three years.

In case of failure to fulfill this obligation or expulsion from the Academy, incl. at his own request, the student is obliged to reimburse the state for the funds spent on preparation, scholarship, food and accommodation.

Answers to the most common questions

QUESTION: When will the selection begin (for the prosecutor's office, the economic investigation service, the anti-corruption service)?

Answer: Each law enforcement agency determines this for itself.

They make a forecast: how many new employees they will need in the future, for what positions.

Taking this into account, they decide when to conduct selection and for how many places.

The Academy is not involved in this process.

For more information, contact law enforcement personnel departments.

We also recommend tracking this information on law enforcement websites. Announcements about the beginning of the selection are published in the “News” or “Documents” sections. Usually they come out 2 times a year - at the beginning and in the middle of the year.

QUESTION: Is it possible to enroll after school or college?

Answer: No. A higher education diploma is required for admission.

QUESTION: I will be given a diploma in a month (2 months, a year, etc.). Can I apply for initial training now?

Answer: No, because you will need to attach a copy of your diploma to your application.

Clause 12 of the Rules for selection for initial professional training and the conditions for its completion for persons entering service in the prosecutor’s office, the anti-corruption service and the economic investigation service, as well as the grounds for their exclusion from initial professional training, approved by the Joint Order of the Prosecutor General of June 26, 2020 No. 80, Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Agency dated June 29, 2020 No. 199 and the Minister of Finance dated July 14, 2020 No. 675.

QUESTION: Is it possible to enroll in vocational training with a diploma in economics, technical or other non-legal specialty?

Answer: The required specialty is indicated in each announcement of the beginning of selection for initial vocational training (published on the websites of law enforcement agencies).

To the prosecutor's office - only with a higher legal education.

There may be others in the Economic Investigation Service and the Anti-Corruption Service.

Typically, this will depend on the position for which the law enforcement agency plans to hire the initial training graduate.

If the qualification requirements for this position allow people with non-legal higher education to be appointed to it, then these people will most likely be able to participate in the selection for initial professional training (subject to the requirements specified in the advertisement). The final decision is made by each law enforcement agency independently.

More details about qualification requirements should be clarified with the law enforcement agencies themselves (explanation of such issues is not within the competence of the Academy).

QUESTION: How is the exam at the Academy and where can I get questions for preparation?

Answer: Look in the Section “Passing exams at the Academy” (on this platform) or on the Academy website (“Menu” → “Training” → “Initial professional training”).

QUESTION: What documents are needed for the military medical commission?

Answer: A referral to a military medical commission and a list of required documents will be issued to you by the personnel service of a law enforcement agency if you successfully pass the interview and after providing two 3x4 color photographs.

If you would like to familiarize yourself in advance with the procedure for passing the military medical commission, it is established by order of the Minister of Internal Affairs of November 2, 2020 No. 758.
