The new regulations for admission to vocational educational institutions have been approved by the order of the Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of the Republic of Armenia.
The main change made is the improvement of the system for interlinking information databases at different levels of education. The admission process for colleges has been digitized, with applicants' data and necessary documents being uploaded automatically, and the proposed educational services, vocational and craft educational programs, qualifications, duration of study, methodology of organizing education, application of work-based learning forms, admission conditions, as well as the terms of the contract to be signed with the applicant will be presented on a unified digital platform.
How to apply to a college
The applicant to the vocational educational institution, the college, fills out the application form electronically in the dimord.emis.am system, which includes personal information (first name, last name, patronymic, date of birth, month, year, email address, phone number) and the public service number (PSN), as well as a photo and an education certificate.
The applicant can apply to one institution for one specialty on a free or paid basis. A step-by-step guide for applying to the college will be published soon.
Unified approach
A unified admission regulation has also been established in the field of vocational education, regardless of the founder and legal form, whereby all applicants' applications will be submitted in the same system, allowing applicants to see the services and offered qualifications of different vocational educational institutions (VEIs) when submitting applications in the information management system of vocational education (IMSV).
The regulation also stipulates that the form of distance learning will gradually be replaced by full or partial load education.
Admission deadlines
To participate in the competition, the applicant's application and documents are accepted electronically in the system no later than July 10:
for non-sectoral specialties until August 10 at 18:00,
for sectoral specialties until July 24 at 18:00.
Examinations will be held from July 25 to August 8.
According to the minister's order, admission for distance learning can be organized in accordance with the existing regulations until the adoption of the regulations for organizing full or partial load education.
Admission conditions
Admission is carried out without examinations, except for vocational or secondary vocational education levels in the fields of culture, sports, medicine, and other sectoral specialties defined by the authorized body.
Applicants who are winners in sports disciplines at the European and World levels are entitled to be admitted without examination and competition if they apply in the same sports direction. The admission of VEIs implementing educational programs in police, defense, and security, as well as other priority sectors of strategic importance for the state, is carried out according to the procedure established by the order of the head of the relevant authorized body.
Colleges conducting admission in the fields of culture and sports publish the necessary professional examinations and their conditions for conducting them no later than one year in advance.
The admission competition is conducted based on the calculation of points established for the entry requirements of the respective qualification (direction) or specialty, taking into account the points of the graduation document of basic or secondary education, including the points of the final and state comprehensive examinations.
For applicants qualified through vocational or secondary vocational educational programs who do not have a graduation document from secondary education, the points of the graduation document of basic education and the relevant subjects of the vocational or secondary vocational education level graduation document (diploma) are taken into account. An applicant who has taken the unified examination may also present their examination score as a basis for calculating points.
