FAQ

  • What kind of diploma do I get at the end of the course?

    The Practitioners in Social Services course is designed to meet the needs of different professionals working in this field and does not offer specialization at an occupational level. It can be offered in different combinations of modules according to specific needs. Social workers who successfully complete this training program can benefit from 15 credits awarded by the National College of Social Workers in Romania. Given that the completed program lasts at least 20 days, participants can benefit from a diploma issued by CONCORDIA Academia together with the "Schlosshofen" Training Institute in Austria. Please check the exam admission criteria upon registration.
