Upon completion of the course, an electronic version of the certificate is provided to the beneficiary, followed by the conclusion of an employment contract for a minimum term of 6 months.

Upon conclusion of the contract, the employer is provided with a monthly reimbursement of AMD 165,000 for a duration of 3 months, inclusive of taxes, duties, and other fees. Additionally, the employer is provided with a maximum monthly amount of AMD 50,000 for a duration of 3 months to compensate for taxes and other mandatory fees.

3. Provision of Partial Reimbursement to the Employer – An agreement on providing partial reimbursement to the employer is signed between the employer, the beneficiary, and the Territorial Center.
