The Tax and Customs Academy deals with the  coordination and development of the e-learning system, which was introduced in the Ministry of Finance in March 2013. The e-learning platform is currently one of the biggest of its kind in the EU.

 

The management of the e-learning system entails keeping high standards of the service (platform and e-courses) as well as ensuring ongoing updates of the educational resources, analysis and upgrade of e-learning methodology and its role in the complex model of education.

Ultimately, the e-learning platform is intended to become, besides being an effective educational tool, a place for storing and exchanging knowledge, experience and discussion between the employeesand officers of the National Revenue Administration.
