Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the initial formation, pre-consecration formation, and permanent formation of consecrated virgins living in the world who represent an individual form of consecrated life. It speaks of two dimensions of formation resulting from the nature of the state of virgins: Christocentric and ecclesial. The Christocentric dimension concerns the problems of establishing a close relationship with Christ, while the ecclesial dimension concerns service to the Church. Both dimensions are related to the work of the Holy Spirit, therefore special attention has been given to charisms. The article also addresses the issue of those responsible for the formation process, especially the candidate or consecrated woman herself. It also deals with the forms of education suitable for adults, which can be applied in the formation of consecrated persons, and other specific issues concerning formation
