The article deals with the civil aviation industry educational cluster which consists of the civil aviation educational establishments of the Russian Federation, comprising structural divisions (constituents) that provide specialist training for both higher and secondary vocational educational programs. Innovative requirements for aircraft maintenance specialist training challenge for a complex of modernization measures intended to provide educational system compliance with the needs of the aviation enterprises. In order to formulate the mentioned measures, the research separates basic structural components of the educational cluster, which change within the modernization process under the influence of the external environment. The article suggests the hierarchical model of the educational cluster modernization process management. Basing on the expert monitoring assessment principles, the educational establishment structural-functional model representing the hierarchical relations of the industry educational cluster objects is developed. Considering that these relations elements interact ambiguously which results in the system properties uncertainty, the research demonstrates the need to create an algorithm for the educational system integral quality assessment system. On the grounds of integral assessment comparative analyses for both the functioning and modernization modes, the work suggests the decision-making mechanism for the measures to be taken. A conclusion is made that the model-based approach allows to choose the best option among the modernization measures (synchronized with the current functioning and at the same time providing civil aviation educational cluster innovative development) step-by-step for a certain calendar period.
