Post-secondary education is organized for professional qualifications established by the Ministry of National Education in accordance with the National Register of Qualifications.

Graduates of high school with or without a baccalaureate diploma can enroll in post-secondary education, admission being carried out in accordance with the general criteria established by the Ministry of National Education.

Post-secondary education is provided through post-secondary schools and master schools. Both the post-secondary school and the master school represent specialized training routes, lasting 1-3 years depending on the complexity of the qualification.

Graduates of post-secondary education who pass the professional qualification certification exam obtain a level 5 qualification certificate according to the national qualification framework, corresponding to reference level 5 of the European Qualifications Framework (specialist technician) and the descriptive supplement of the certificate, according to Europass.

Post-secondary education is organized in post-secondary schools, within high schools with legal personality, or in colleges within accredited higher education institutions.

Schooling in state post-secondary education is financed through the local budgets of the administrative-territorial units, from amounts split from state budget revenues and from local budget revenues. Schooling can also be financed by applicants, individuals or legal entities, through a contract concluded with the educational institution providing the schooling.

Credits for education and vocational training obtained in post-secondary education can be recognized for graduates with a baccalaureate diploma by universities, based on decisions of the university senate, as transferable study credit units for the undergraduate level.
