    Annotation Currently, the number of online courses and the demand for e-learning are growing, which is often due to the flexibility this training format provides and the relatively low cost of training. At the same time, only 10-15% of students successfully complete the course. There are a number of external and internal factors that influence the successful completion of an online course. We have developed 3 online ESP courses for graduate students (majoring in Industrial Pharmacy, Psychology, Public Health and Healthcare) and an online ESP course for undergraduate students of clinical faculties. Courses for graduate students were implemented as part of their major for master's programs while the course for undergraduate students was offered as a minor. All courses were developed in accordance with the approved course outline, hosted on the Moodle platform, contained elements of interactivity (interactive lectures, interactive simulator), control was carried out using MCQ tests, and students were also offered creative assignments (they were checked manually by teachers). All online courses have undergone a three-stage examination, which guarantees the quality of the course in terms of content and technical implementation. Despite a number of similarities between these courses (from the point of view of organization), performance in the courses for graduate students and the course for undergraduates was significantly different (95.5% of graduate students and 13% of undergraduates successfully completed their studies). Mastering an online course requires a high degree of self-organization, so this format of work is most likely appropriate for graduates and PhD students. In this study, a mathematical model was built that makes it possible to predict with a high degree of confidence (96%) whether a student will successfully complete the online course.
