National Academy of Civil Service

Goals

To nurture elementary to Junior rank civil service with needed knowledge and capabilities, as well as reserve mid-level civil service manpower.

Trainees

Trainees are limited to Elementary Rank (Grade 5). Once they reach a specific level of performance appraisals and years of experience, their employer can recommend them to participate in this training. The annual number of trainees is around 1,800.

Courses

According to the annual training course list promulgated by the Civil Service Protection and Training Commission, the courses have six units, i.e. “Important National Policies and Issues, “Administrative Knowledge, Capabilities and Practices”, “Civil Service Laws and Practices”, “Government Governance and National Development”, “Course Scoring and Assessment”, “Course Mentoring and General Activities”. The training period is four weeks; 120 hours courses.

Features

1. Teaching materials research and development: to revitalize teaching activities, we develop training materials and cases that comply with target duty requirements, introduce diverse teaching methods, use digital technology, and produce thematic microfilms as learning aids. We expect that our trainees can be involved in learning anytime and anywhere to enhance training effects.
2. Cross-disciplinary learning: this training mixes all trainees together in class regardless of their specialties, occupations, or professions, and separates them into groups based on project research themes. This helps with them exchange views, brainstorm together and learn from their peers.
3. Teamwork: training courses integrate with current public issues to formulate research topics. Through team interaction, brainstorming processes, and integration of trainees’ diverse opinions, trainees are able to induce or deduce the cause and effect of problems from practical scenarios, and propose strategic tentative solutions.

Assessment

“Life Management, Group Discipline, and Activity Performance Scores” and “Course Scores”. “Course Scores” are divided into “Project Report” and “Examination Score”. “Examination Score” is based on the open-book written test.
