The skills required of a support teacher are methodological skills, communication and relationship skills, psycho-social skills and career management skills.

Italy, Germany, Republic of Moldova. A distinct part of the paper refers to the legislation on inclusive education and the organization of educational support services for children, pupils and young people with special educational needs integrated in mainstream education in Romania. A section dedicated to legislation on inclusive education in Italy is followed by information on how to become a support teacher in Italy. The case study addresses the situation of diplomas obtained in other European countries and not recognized in Italy. Reasons are given for rejecting the files of graduates of Spanish and Romanian specialization courses in support of students with disabilities. The echoes and opinions regarding the recognition of studies and the admission in the teaching staff of Italians who have completed their studies in European countries are presented from two perspectives: the first of Italian citizens who obtained the qualification for support teacher in Italy and the second perspective of those who have obtained qualifications in other EU countries. The case study are presented the emergencies in protection of the rights deriving from obtaining the qualification, recognized according to the International System for the Recognition of Qualifications.
