The article presents comparative analysis of modular training as a teaching tool against traditional methods and techniques in educational institutions, particularly in higher education. Being one of the forms of interactive learning, modular training ensures efficient intermutual development of all members of educational process. It increases active learning and improves critical thinking, as well as problem solving skills. Based on several years of experimental research this article gives recommendations on modular training for improving knowledge in emergency first aid treatment for students of various educational institutions. It also briefly describes the algorithm of introducing elements of modular training for implementation of Health and Safety course.
