Abstract:

Competition and rivalry between people can be regarded as a universal principle practically in every sphere of human activity. Nowadays this category is monopolized by the economics that tackles it exclusively as a necessary attribute of the market engine. Yet, however, competition should be comprehended in a considerably wider sense — sociological.

Competition potential and its advantages result in a number of social factors. Among them education, professional in particular, including the system of further professional education (FPE), is of essential importance.
