In this research the authors analyze the synergetic effect of the competent and acmeological approacheds to the educational process. The authors focus on the results of practical implementation of the aforesaid approaches during the educational process. To achieve the research targets, the authors have applied theoretical and experimental methods. Theoretical methods included analysis, synthesis, generalisation, comparison, systematization, specification, system and process modelling. Experimental methods included observation, educational experiment, extrapolation method, qualitative and quantitative analysis. The authors of the article analyze the influence of the acmeological approach on the development of competences in the course of vocational training of would-be military men. They also analyze the use of acmeological technologies in the process of education and describe particular cases when these technologies have beenused.
