IMF Institute Training at Headquarters (HQ), Washington, D.C., United States
Although most courses at HQ in Washington, D.C. are offered in English, some are also offered in French, and Spanish. Much of the HQ curriculum is targeted at a global audience. The online application form can be accessed at http://www.IMF.org/insapply for English and Arabic courses, http://www.IMF.org/ins/candidature for French courses, and http://www.IMF.org/ins/solicitud for Spanish courses. Applications for Arabic courses must be submitted in English. The Institute for Capacity Development does not accept hard-copy applications or nominations. Some courses are by invitation only; a link to the online nomination form will be provided in the nomination notification message. Agencies with an interest in a course may e-mail inquiries to icdtas@imf.org.
Selection Process:
Courses are either by application or invitation. For courses by invitation candidates are nominated by government agencies upon the request of the responsible IMF department.
Self-Financed Policy:
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. However, they 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.
