between students and people interested in vocational training from different countries than within these groups,
MS B >MS W (Tab. 1). People interested in vocational training from Poland appreciate the accuracy of information
on e-learning platform of accounting in practice more than students as a result of longer and deeper practical
experience in accounting of entities, while in Slovakia students assess accuracy of information higher than
people interested in vocational training. There are fewer people interested in vocational training in Slovakia that
have got practical experience in accounting and ability to recognize crucial information essential in real business
than in Poland.

* difference of means is significant (pMS B (Tab. 2). Students from both Poland and Slovakia assess clarity of layout and format higher than
people interested in vocational training because their assessment bases on habits acquired during studies, notconfronted
with the practice. They assess arrangement of educational content considering only the usefulness of
particular issues in preparing for the exam, rather than focusing on the meaning of issues in practice and
bookkeeping of real business.
