The design of the NACS emblem is inspired by the highest mountain in Taiwan, the Jade Mountain. The emblem is illustrated with a combination of a calligraphic form of English letter 'N' and a Mandarin character '人' (human), and a background of gradations of grass green and sky blue colors. The stretching and undulating mountains represent the responsibilities of developing a top civil service training system, as well as the commitment to the pursuit of excellence of the NACS.
