Training path for public sector executives
Public sector executives, particularly those in the Administrative and Diplomatic
Service, are required to go through a rigorous training process of competency development as
they proceed along their career path. The core of the training process is a series of
compulsory courses that public sector executives have to attend before they are promoted
from one level to the next higher level. At the entry level (Grade M41), junior officers are
required to attend the Diploma in Public Management course, which is a six months program.
They have to complete the program and obtain a pass before they can be confirmed in their
current position.
