For the training purposes, there were used resources of the National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen, such as an observation base, hardware, software, etc. The practices of the Department of Astronomy are conducted in close collaboration with the Institute of Astronomy with NAO for many years. Traditionally, the most active and successful institution for promotion of astronomy in Bulgaria - Smolyan Planetarium - was visited.
