The subject of the thesis are the communication skills of students of selected fields in secondary vocational education. Secondary vocational education is, for the purposes of the thesis, limited solely to 3-year vocational courses with an apprenticeship certificate. Only the following technical fields have been analysed: Electrician, Model Maker, Machinist, Toolmaker and Machine Tool Operator (Metals). The theoretical part of the thesis aimed to map the range of communication skills which are defined by the state in the national curricula of the individual fields. At the same time, the school curricula of the individual fields were mapped, and again, with the focus on communication skills. The method of targeted information gathering was used in the writing of the theoretical part of the thesis. The practical part of the thesis was defined by two objectives. The first objective was to find out, on the basis of a quantitative survey, whether the specified com-munication skills, set by the national curricula, or the school curricula, became part of the teaching during the study. The second objective was, again on the basis of the conducted quantitative survey, to find out whether the respondents would also recommend including the teaching of communication skills for practical purposes in the education. The results of the survey show that the specified communication skills have become part of the teaching. The respondents were also unanimously in favour of including the communication skills for practical purposes in the education
