Results: certain contradictions in the preparation of educational professional programs have been ascertained, the possibility of ensuring a parity of engineering and psychological and pedagogical disciplines in order to form future teachers of professional education engineering and psychological and pedagogical base has been identified; the implementation of integrated  approach in the development and implementation of educational and professional training programs for bachelors in the specialty 015 "Vocational Education (Transport)" at the National Transport University has been substantiated.
