Thus, the conditions for officials to be sent for postgraduate training have some changes compared to the provisions in Decree 18/2010/ND-CP, such as: reducing the required work experience to 03 years (current regulation is 05 years), having at least 02 continuous years of successfully fulfilling tasks (current regulation is at least 03 continuous years of successfully fulfilling tasks), and committing to performing duties at the agency or unit after completing the training program for at least twice the training duration (current regulation is at least three times the training duration). Moreover, an additional condition is included that requires professional competence and qualifications to meet long-term usage requirements in the agency's human resource development plan.

For Public Employees

- Must not be in the probation period;- Must commit to performing duties and professional activities at the agency or unit after completing the training program for a period at least twice the training duration;- The training field must be relevant to the job position;- Must have professional competence and qualifications that meet long-term usage requirements in the agency's human resource development plan.

Compared to the provisions in Circular 19/2014/TT-BNV, which regulates and guides the training and retraining of public employees, the condition ensuring the working period of public employees after graduation to be at least twice the training duration is no longer required. Additionally, the condition that public employees sent for training must not be in their probation period is added.

The draft decree also stipulates the conditions for officials and public employees to be sent for training abroad.
