The Scientific Council of the Approved Centre for Training in Accounting and Financial Expertise of Burkina Faso (CFECF-BF) has announced the launch of its recruitment campaign for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Fifty students will be selected to join the first year of the Diploma of Advanced Studies in Accounting and Financial Management (DESCOGEF), a master’s level programme equivalent to BAC+5.
The training is open to applicants holding a bachelor’s degree (BAC+3) in accounting or management. Eligibility requirements are aligned with Regulation No. 03/2020/CM/UEMOA, which governs the DESCOGEF diploma across all member states of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA).
Prospective candidates will first undergo a review of their application files. Those shortlisted will then be invited for interviews with a selection panel, which will determine the final list of successful students.
Annual registration fees for the programme are set at 50,000 CFA francs. Tuition for the first year amounts to 2,000,000 CFA francs, payable in three installments, with 50% due at the time of registration. Tuition fees for the second year stand at 2,500,000 CFA francs.
