Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IMF face-to-face courses held in Washington, DC and our regional training centers have been cancelled until further notice. In light of the evolving nature of the outbreak, we are unable to confirm when or if the courses will be rescheduled. However, the IMF is offering some courses virtually. Please visit our website regularly for up-to-date course information.
IMF Institute Training at Online Learning (OL)
The online learning (OL) program is designed to complement and, in some cases, serve as a prerequisite for face-to-face training and technical assistance (TA). Participants may also take online courses as stand-alone learning experiences. All online courses are available in English; some are also available in French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic.
OL courses feature recorded video clips of lectures by IMF experts interspersed with interactive assessments and hands-on exercises. A discussion forum allows course participants to network and discuss the course content. Some courses are offered over 4-9 weeks with strict weekly deadlines; others are offered over several months on a self-paced basis. Please check individual catalog listings. One major advantage of the OL program is the ability to offer courses to all interested government officials regardless of agency, and free of enrollment limits.
OL courses require a reliable Internet connection and may also require software such as Excel or EViews for which a temporary license will be made available.
