Abstract: The article is devoted to the organization of the educational process using a specialized laboratory stand of security and fire systems. The main purpose of the paper is to form professional competencies of students in the field of security and safety systems. The paper describes in detail the structure and components of the laboratory stand, emphasizing the importance of its key elements - the control panel "Astra-812 Pro" and a variety of detectors. This allows students to practically apply theoretical knowledge, studying the functioning and interaction of various components of the security and fire system. The article also presents schemes of connection of detectors to the expander, allowing students to more deeply understand the technical side of the process. The steps of the bench training are disclosed to support step-by-step, sequential learning. The study emphasizes the effectiveness of the proposed learning system, which involves direct student interaction with hands-on equipment. The findings confirm the significance of using such training stands in modern higher professional education, emphasizing their contribution to the formation of the necessary professional competencies in future specialists in the field of safety and security. Scientific novelty of the work consists in the development and application of a specialized training stand for teaching students to work with security and fire systems. This allows students to get direct experience of interaction with the equipment, deepen their understanding of the technical aspects of the systems operation and improve their practical skills. The work also contributes to research on educational approaches in the field of safety and security by proposing an effective teaching methodology through the use of a laboratory bench. This provides a platform for further research and development in this area that can broaden and deepen the educational opportunities in the field.
