Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan who possess technical and vocational, post-secondary, or higher education are eligible to enroll in full-time educational programs with a reduced duration of study. For such students, in addition to traditional offline classes—i.e., with physical attendance in university classrooms—it is permitted to complete up to 20% of the academic disciplines included in the curriculum of the educational program through distance learning (in an online format).

Distance learning is a form of education in which the instructor and learners interact remotely through the use of information and communication technologies and telecommunication tools.

In the organization of the educational process, primary attention is given to students’ independent learning, while classes are conducted in both synchronous (real-time video lessons) and asynchronous (pre-recorded video lectures) formats.

According to the Order of the Minister of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated March 20, 2015, No. 137 "On the approval of requirements for educational institutions regarding the provision of distance learning and the rules for organizing the educational process via distance and online learning for higher and (or) postgraduate educational programs" (as amended by the Order of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated August 7, 2023, No. 397, Section 3, Clause 26), working curricula and syllabi for online learning must reflect the proportion of asynchronous and synchronous learning formats. At the same time, the proportion of synchronous classes must be no less than 20% of the total volume of each academic discipline, except for disciplines delivered via MOOCs.
