The research was done among 20 master’s students, learners in a program “High performance sport” in both type of learning (full-time and part-time study), profiled as male and female (38.6 ± 9.2 years). During the training, several ways of training and communication with students were used (the same for both forms of training) – Zoom (for online lectures in real time), Google classroom (for materials and communication), Virtual NSA (materials, projects and communication) and e-mail (projects and communication). It was found that 65% of students were actively involved in various forms of education, including online lectures. Assessment of students is related to the possibility of consultation with the teacher (1.20±0.41). The general satisfaction of the trainees is also evident from the fact that their assessments on this issue are between 1- strongly positive and positive. High marks are also given for answered student’s question in a timely manner (1.40±0.68) and respect student’s opinion and critical remarks (1.35±0.67). The feedback and the possibility for normal and timely communication with the teacher, despite the limitations of the state of emergency, has a positive effect on the students. The students evaluated positively the conducted distance learning in statistics and can concluded that the pandemic and the imposed changes in the way of teaching have had a positive impact on the assimilation of the material by the students.
