The South African public service faces many challenges in its efforts to become a truly representative, competent and democratic instrument and to play its proper role in the reconciliation, reconstruction and development process in the country. To fulfil this role effectively, the public service should continue to invest substantially in the training of officials across the board.

Experts in the field of public service and administration offer certificate courses, spanning finance, project and policy management, leadership and planning for public servants on national, provincial and local government levels.
