The benefit is also aimed at workers enrolled on a university training course designated "CFU" to achieve credits required by Italian Presidential Decree 19/2016 and obtained during Bachelor's, specialised, and Master's degree courses or individual university courses.

It is specified that all the support and reception measures listed above may be allocated to recipients who have been initiated in Formatemp training courses dedicated to them, although not yet laid out in the skills audit.

If the required documentation is missing, Ebitemp will suspend the process and send the request for additional documentation, which must be received within 120 calendar days, after which, if no additional documentation is received, the application will be considered waived and therefore rejected.
