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 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 the reference level 5 of the European Qualifications Framework (specialist technician) and the descriptive supplement to 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 broken down from state budget revenues and from local budget revenues. Schooling can also be funded by applicants, natural or legal persons, by contract concluded with the educational institution that provides the schooling.

Education and vocational training credits 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 bachelor's level.
