- Specialised Courses: Operated by Camões, I.P. in partnership with several universities, these courses provide a qualitative certificate, along with the number of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) obtained, with accreditation granted according to the standards stipulated by the European institutes of higher education. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System focuses on the student and is based on the amount of work required to reach the required goals of each study programme with the necessary results and skills attained.
- Teacher Training Courses: In accordance with the legal aspects relating to the continuous training of teachers, these courses are officially accredited by the Scientific and Pedagogical Board for Continuous Training (CCPFC), the entity responsible for the accreditation of training organisations and other activities relating to the continuous training of teachers based on the training system assessment process.
