This article presents a comprehensive study that examines software issues, organizational and methodological requirements for conducting webinars, platform selection. Prerequisites have been considered, the process of creation has been described, functional possibilities and results of the system of training of technical disciplines of future specialists in information technologies have been analyzed. A large number, of well-known webinar support platforms include the BigBlueButton platform, which is free and freely distributed open-source software.

A number, of organizational and methodological measures for a successful webinar have been described and recommended. It has been noted that adherence to the methodological, technical, and organizational component of conducting webinars is extremely important for achieving a positive result in the training of specialists. It has been shown that the use of webinars technology greatly enhances the organization of the educational process, contributes to the formation of a system of technical concepts, knowledge, and skills in the field of online classes for future IT professionals, and thus provides an opportunity to improve the practical and technical training of students.

Despite all the inconveniences, virtually all types of classroom instruction in traditional education can be implemented through webinars. However, a number, of problems with such technology as a form of training organization do not warrant the complete replacement of traditional classroom training.
