Curriculum Update

The range of learning activities currently on offer across the Civil Service is constantly evolving. This is a direct response to the way in which the Civil Service itself is changing. With civil servants expected to work in different ways, incorporating new ideas, approaches and technologies, it’s vital that our learning offer continues to keep pace with these changes. That’s why we work with our learning consortium partners to keep extending and refining our offer, deploying new courses and programmes to meet the emerging demands being made of our Civil Service departments.
