International courses

Since 1995, the Bundesbank has been offering international central banking courses for central bank staff from around the world. These courses target primarily junior staff at the partner central banks. Up to 20 participants from other central banks can attend the courses, which are held in English. Owing to limited capacity, only one participant from each central bank may attend. In 2011, about 540 members of central banks from over 90 countries participated in 26 international central banking courses.

The goal of the courses is to provide an international forum to exchange ideas, opinions and thoughts, going beyond the mere transfer of specialist expertise. The Bundesbank therefore applies a discerning approach to the design of its international central banking courses. Depending on the target group (management, specialists, beginners or junior staff), the courses either take the form of a seminar, a course with practical parts, (eg on the computer), a discussion forum, or simply a workshop. The length of the course varies, ranging from three days to two weeks.

Brochure

Every year, the Bundesbank publishes a brochure in English which provides detailed information on all of the international central banking courses. The brochure is available electronically, but can also be ordered from the Centre for Technical Central Bank Cooperation in hard copy.
