The paper proposes approaches to solving the tasks to ensure effective management, monitor, and assessment of the quality of study programmes based on the Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Professional Education (FSES HPE). It analyses features and problems of a competence-aimed approach to be practically used while designing and implementing the study programmes according to FSES HPE. The relevance of the solving problem to monitor and assess the learning outcomes specified by a competence-based format is justified; main problems are defined, aims and objectives are formulated. The paper illustrates features of forming competences as the main learning outcomes (LO) of a studied theoretical course of curriculum; analyses requirements both for the ways to form and for the tools to monitor the parts of competences (discipline competences) and their component structure («knowledge», «skills», «abilities») to be formed and monitored in the concrete disciplines (units) of a curriculum. The paper offers and studies options to find solutions for monitoring and assessing the LO and education (qualification) in the field concerned. It also proposes and analyses approaches and tools to define integral assessments of LO of graduates who have had competence-based study programmes; specific features of use; methods for increasing accuracy. Using an aggregated competence-based model of a graduate is offered to monitor and assess LO of a curriculum on the basis of the State Final Certification. The paper suggests variants of generalized and detailed representation of LO of a curriculum, which take into account a competence-based format of FSES HPE requirements. The offered approaches and methods will allow increasing efficiency of task solutions to form, monitor, and assess competences, as main LO of the competence-based study programmes.
