The Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) published on Friday a circular to Authorised Intermediaries No 2023-03, dated June 30, 2023, on the transfer of expenses relating to vocational training abroad. The aim of the circular is to simplify the procedure for direct debits to Authorised Intermediaries for professional training abroad.
As a result, "from June 30th 2023, certificates relating to whether or not the beneficiary has received a grant will be replaced by a declaration on honour certifying that the beneficiary is not the holder of another transfer file for the training period concerned. In addition, the certificate of non-objection to pursuing vocational training abroad has been abolished", explained the BCT in a press release published on its website.
Other conditions, as stipulated in circular no. 2007-09 of 12/04/2007, remain unchanged.
The BCT also announced that "from now on, registration and training fees may be paid to entities duly authorised by foreign training establishments".
"This decision follows that of the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training to abolish the attestation of non-objection to pursuing vocational training abroad and the attestation of non-scholarship holder (certifying that the person wishing to pursue training abroad is not in receipt of a grant) or, if in receipt of a grant, an attestation specifying the amount of the grant".
