The program is a practice-oriented training. Practical training (school observation, group and individual practice) provides graduates with an insight into advanced procedures and methods for developing the personality and mobility of disabled people of all ages. The theory is applied to practice in the frame of individual and group sessions, where educational skills, technical skills and special conductor skills are also developed.

The venue for the theoretical, block-based training is Subotica, while the practical training is organized in stages in Senta.
