Special attention should be paid to readiness for online education in order for teachers to solve the tasks they are facing. The article examines the tools for diagnosing the readiness of teachers and secondary vocational education organisations to implement online education using an automated software system. 

The aim of the article is to substantiate the superiority of an automated software system as a diagnostic tool for assessing the readiness of teachers of secondary vocational education organisations for online education. 

Methods. Analysis of scientific publications, generalisation and systematisation of the findings, testing approach, multidimensional evaluation approach. 

Results. Criteria and indicators reflecting the readiness of the teaching staff of secondary vocational education organisations to implement online education were introduced; methods of measuring them as well as a methodology for constructing a diagnostic conclusion were developed; an automated diagnostic tool, which can personalise the training for online education among teachers and heads of secondary vocational education organisations was developed and tested.  

Practical significance. The results of the study can be used to determine the readiness of teachers and organisations of secondary vocational education for online education in the context of digital transformation of the education system.
