The purpose of the scientific article is to identify a possible solution to the problem of improving students’ training effectiveness through the combined usage of active forms and methods of teaching students among the dependent learning parameters set. The authors came to this hypothetical opinion based on the comparative analysis results of previous studies, which confirm that the usage of active forms and methods of teaching students is the right vector for solving the lifelong problem of learning improving the effectiveness. 
It has been established that the available psychological and pedagogical literature does not provide specific solutions for modern students - cyber-socialised youth, which would help to substantiate the best ways to intensify students' learning and cognitive activity. 
Previous scientific studies have confirmed that the group of people who are most addicted to computer games, as practice shows, is difficult to motivate to study using traditional approaches when there is a distracting and, to some extent, gambling factor. 
Based on these circumstances, the proposed research is obviously logical from the need to improve the theory and methodology of vocational education through the usage of active forms and methods of teaching students. New circumstances have determined the subject of the study, which is a professional business game. It has been experimentally determined that during a professional business game students will use simulation models to solve professional problems. To organise and conduct a professional business game, teachers define game and functional goals. In the above variant of the professional business game structural scheme, the goal of accelerating the discipline development through students' learning activation is achieved. Organising and conducting a professional business game as an active teaching method involves preparation of both students and teachers for it, and also requires the methodological materials and technical means availability, which helps to increase the classes effectiveness conducted in a game form and to form professional competencies in students. The article provides practical steps for preparing participants of a professional business game.
