The teaching qualification course in San Marino schools is reserved exclusively for residents and citizens of San Marino, on the basis of the legislation that authorizes the University to activate such courses. Therefore the University of San Marino cannot accept enrollments from NON-residents or NON-San Marino citizens.

San Marino legislation does not provide for the granting of residency for the attendance of a university course. For more information, contact the Foreign Office of the Gendarmerie.

Those who have obtained the teaching qualification relating to a specific competition class can enroll in the course to extend the qualification to all the competition classes foreseen for the qualification held. In this case, reduced training courses may be envisaged, on which the final exam will focus and the relative registration fee is re-measured on the basis of the number of modules attended.
