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

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

Post-secondary education is carried out through post-secondary school and foremen's school. Both post-secondary school and foremen's school represent specialized training routes, lasting 1-3 years, depending on the complexity of the qualification.

Post-secondary education graduates who pass the professional qualification certification exam obtain a level 5 qualification certificate according to the National Qualifications 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 administrative-territorial units, from amounts separated from the revenues of the state budget and from the revenues of local budgets. Schooling can also be financed by applicants, natural or legal persons, through a contract concluded with the educational institution that provides schooling.

Credits for education and professional training obtained in post-secondary education can be recognized for graduates with a baccalaureate diploma by universities, based on senate decisions, as units of transferable study credits for the bachelor's level.
