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

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

Post-secondary education is provided through post-secondary schools and master schools. Both post-secondary schools and master schools represent specialized training routes, with a duration of 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 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 by the local budgets of the administrative-territorial units, from amounts deducted 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.

Education and vocational training credits obtained in post-secondary education may be recognized for graduates with a baccalaureate diploma by universities, based on university senate decisions, as transferable study credit units for the bachelor's level.
