The program provides for a cohort of 175 places, strictly divided between 125 positions dedicated to face-to-face teaching and 50 positions reserved for distance learning. The specializations offered cover five key areas: Public Economics and Public Management (25 face-to-face places, 10 distance learning), Taxation, Public Finance and Accounting (25 face-to-face, 10 distance learning), Territorial Governance and Local Public Finances (25 face-to-face, 10 distance learning), Public Markets and Public-Private Partnerships (25 face-to-face, 10 distance learning), and Audit and Control of Public Finances (25 face-to-face, 10 distance learning).
Admission to the single pole in Yaoundé requires candidates of both sexes to hold a university degree at the Bac +3 level in economics, management, or law, accompanied by at least 5 years of professional experience in structures related to public finances. However, the mechanism allows for the validation of experience in light of the presented professional project. The constitution of the registration file requires providing 1 pre-registered registration form downloaded from the official platform (http://www.pffinancespubliques.org), 1 certified copy of the diploma less than three months old, 1 legalized copy of the birth certificate, signed transcripts from the License cycle, a Curriculum Vitae, a motivation letter, a certificate of presence at the post or employer authorization, 1 A4 stamped envelope, as well as the receipt of payment of 50,000 FCFA made to the Crédit Mutuel d'Investissement du Cameroun or by letter of mandate to the Administrative and Financial Manager of the PSSFP in Yaoundé-Messa (BP: 2332).
The complete pieces must be transmitted to the door 231 of the PSSFP's academic office in Yaoundé-Messa no later than September 18, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. The selection will be based on a complete file study and a grand oral examination before a jury for the face-to-face course, while distance learning will rely solely on documentary verification. The final admission will be officially announced by a joint order of the two supervisory authorities.
The professionalization of public service agents is a determining lever for securing the execution of finance laws and optimizing tax revenue collection. By structuring specialized branches in partnership with the university system, the Ministry of Finance aims to consolidate the impartiality of budgetary controls and modernize the management of public-private partnerships. The final publication of the results through a joint statement will formalize the definitive selection of future specialists in national budget management.
