What this is

The authorization to launch a tourism and social studies program, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, enables a higher education institution to train students in the fields of tourism, hospitality, and social work. It primarily applies to study programs leading to the BTS, HND, or *Licence Professionnelle* (Professional Bachelor's degree). Without this authorization, the institution is not permitted to provide instruction or enter candidates for official examinations. Obtaining this authorization requires submitting a dossier to the relevant departments of the Ministry of Higher Education that demonstrates the institution's capabilities (infrastructure, qualified teaching staff, and validated curricula).

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The instrument sets a fee. At the counter it is not always that one. Here is what readers report, counted and summed up.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. It is published as counted figures, never as your account of it.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
