Terms and Conditions for The Academy

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Oman recruitment pathway is strictly subject to the terms and duration of our two-year recruitment contract with the Ministry.

As a result, individuals who join later in the process or fail to complete the required steps before the contract’s expiration may not be eligible for employment opportunities. Furthermore, this recruitment process is competitive, as candidates are selected from a pool of registered professionals participating in the program.

While our contract remains in effect, we will continue to assess and nominate candidates from our registered pool for Ministry consideration. However, as the contract approaches its expiration, and if renewal is uncertain, we will discontinue onboarding new applicants.

During the contract period, the number of candidates available for Ministry interviews may vary. To meet recruitment demands, we must maintain a pool of registered candidates larger than the number required for monthly selections.

In light of these conditions, the agency bears no responsibility for the outcome of any individual recruitment process beyond the validity of our contract.

It is the sole responsibility of each candidate to complete their application process in a timely manner and within the contract’s validity period, in accordance with the agency’s guidelines.

The agency shall not be held liable for candidates who are unable to complete their process within the specified timeframe.
