IMF Institute Curriculum
The IMF’s Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) curriculum is more focused, linked to well-defined learning objectives, and provides greater emphasis on lessons learned from crises and global economic developments (linkages and spillovers, global imbalances, and policy coordination). The CY2025 catalog for course offerings can be accessed here.
The table provides a listing of the courses offered by the IMF Institute through the redesigned curriculum and grouped around thematic topics.
The table illustrates paths country officials attending ICD courses might take to progress from introductory offerings to the advanced courses for each topic. It also suggests which courses should be taken first as a foundation for topics discussed in the intermediate and advanced levels. Courses offered exclusively online are indicated with an “x” in the course abbreviation. The progression table applies only to ICD courses. Other IMF training departments should be contacted directly for suggestions on progression paths for their courses.
