In the context of forced restrictions in 2020–2021, many companies began to reduce their spending on training their employees. Nevertheless, the development of distance learning technologies made it possible to avoid a significant decline in activity in the APE market. According to the forecasts of a number of researchers, in 2022–2025 we can expect a recovery and growth in the activity of the APE system. A significant role in this process is played by the digitalization of education, the development of projects in the field of EdTech educational technologies. The article presents the results of a study of the level of development of digital technologies in the sector of additional professional education in the regions of Russia. The article was written on the basis of the RANEPA state assignment research programme.
