Time Université

What Time Université does

Time Université (legal name: Ecole Supérieure Privée des Technologies de l'Information et de Management de l'Entreprise, or TIME-ESP) is a private higher education institution headquartered at 45 Avenue Mohamed V, Montplaisir, Tunis, operating under Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education accreditation granted in June 2002. The institution delivers a multi-program portfolio organized across two domains — Sciences et Technologies and Economie et Gestion — comprising a two-year preparatory cycle, a five-semester engineering cycle (software engineering, computer networks and telecommunications), a Licence LMD bachelor's track, and a two-year professional Mastère program, plus certification training in partnership with Microsoft, CISCO, and Dale Carnegie. Its serving base spans Tunisian students, working professionals seeking credentials, and international students — particularly from African countries — recruited via a partnership with the Association des Etudiants et Stagiaires Africains en Tunisie and supported with visa, accommodation, and integration services.

The institution runs a digital operations stack including an online pre-registration system (website plus Microsoft Forms), a results publication portal, an enterprise portal for company-posted internships and jobs, a student/parent/teacher management system, a digital library, and a "Cellule d'écoute" psychological support service staffed by a dedicated psychosociologist. Faculty are drawn from permanent staff plus visiting professors sourced from public universities, enabled by the founding partnership with a group of Tunisian economic-life companies and individuals.

The business model is primarily tuition-based and recurring: Tunisian students pay 5,300–7,350 TND per year across program tiers; international students pay 1,790–2,360€ per year; a 500 TND (150€) non-refundable registration fee applies to all. Billing is multi-year with installment schedules, and volume discounts are offered for siblings. A secondary revenue line is operated through wholly-owned subsidiary T.T.C PILOTAGE, the exclusive Tunisian franchise of Dale Carnegie Training, delivering ISO 9001-certified corporate training in leadership, coaching, communication, and management. The company is founder-controlled (Dr. Mohamed Damak as Président Directeur Général and Founder, with Nidhal Damak as Executive Director) and reports 75 employees, with no external investors, funding rounds, or M&A disclosed.
