If the validation obtained is equivalent to an Advanced Level Training Course (professional training, specialist technician), this offers direct access to short-cycle courses and some specific long-cycle courses.

If the validation obtained is equivalent to the Spanish Bachillerato (High School, Baccalaureate, etc.) and the student wishes to apply for a university place, he or she must take the University Entrance Tests at any public university in Spain. UNED organises a specific session for students who have studied abroad.
