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

Graduates of high school, with or without a baccalaureate diploma, may register for post-secondary education, with admission carried out according to the general criteria established by the Ministry of National Education.

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

Graduates of post-secondary education who pass the professional qualification certification exam receive a level 5 qualification certificate according to the National Qualifications Framework, corresponding to the 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.

State post-secondary education is financed through the local budgets of administrative-territorial units, from amounts allocated from state budget revenues and from local budget revenues. Education can also be financed by applicants, individuals or legal entities, through a contract concluded with the educational unit that provides the 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 the decisions of the university senate, as transferable study credit units for the bachelor's level.
