That is an important parameter of how the high school is successful and basic information for parents when they are picking high school for their children. Because of that, I compared the opinions of students with not only competences given in specific educational programs, but also with information from experienced accountants and tax consultants from praxes, which were asked the same questions. As a fundamental research method was used qualitative research, that enabled us to gain data from respondents and use them for comparison. A very pleasing discovery was that competition both professional and key, that the graduates mention the most were as well important for colleagues from praxis and as well as mention in school educational programs.
