IMF Institute Training is delivered at the African Training Institute (ATI), Ebène, Mauritius.
Since 2013, the African Training Institute (ATI) has been offering a growing curriculum of courses tailored to the needs of ATI's 45 members and anchored in the broader engagement of the IMF in the sub-Saharan region.
Courses are open to government and central bank officials.
Courses are typically offered in English with simultaneous interpretation into French and Portuguese.
ATI endeavors to welcome participants from fragile and conflict-affected states and female participants to its courses.
The large majority of courses are offered in Mauritius but are occasionally delivered in the SSA region.
In-person and virtual courses are complemented by a program of webinars addressing key policy issues for sub-Saharan African policy makers.

Subject areas include:
- general macroeconomic analysis
- financial sector issues
- fiscal policy
- monetary, exchange and capital account policies
- inclusive growth and structural policies (gender, governance, and climate change)
Delivery modalities:
- in-person courses (primarily in Mauritius)
- occasional regional delivery in the SSA region
- virtual courses
- webinars addressing key policy issues

Participation in courses is by application sponsored by the applicant's supervisor or director of training.
If a course is by invitation, candidates are nominated by government agencies at the request of the IMF department responsible for the course.

Candidates from international agencies and advanced regional countries who apply to attend IMF training events, if accepted, will be considered self-financed.
Local staff in IMF Resident Representative offices selected to train at regional training centers and programs would also be self-financed.
Self-financed participants are eligible to attend training at HQ as regular participants.
Attending as self-financed provides the same access to course content and activities, but all associated costs (accommodation, travel, and per diem) need to be covered by the sponsoring institution.
