In the Second Polish Republic the title was awarded to the graduates of Wyższa Szkoła Wojenna (Higher Military School).) In the Polish People's Republic this title was reintroduced in 1958 for the graduates of the Academy of the General Staff[1]

In the modern Republic of Poland the title was awarded to the graduates of the commanders' and staff courses of the National Defence University of Warsaw. The title was abandoned after the reorganization of Polish military and reintroduced in 2017 for the graduates of Postgraduate Operational-Tactic Studies of the War Studies Academy (full title: "oficer dyplomowany Sił Zbrojnych Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej", abbreviated as "dypl. SZ RP")[2]
