What this is
This authorization, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, grants an institution the right to provide training in the fields of commerce or management sciences. The authorization certifies that the institution possesses adequate infrastructure, qualified teaching staff, and validated curricula to train students in business-related specializations (such as international trade, accounting, banking, and insurance). To obtain this authorization, the institution's promoter must submit administrative documents (a stamped application, the official decree establishing the institution), academic documents (teaching curricula, an academic affiliation agreement), and proof of the teachers' qualifications.
