The Centre of Public Service Training is an integral part of the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences responsible for professional training and institutional capacity building of public, private and non-governmental orgnisations in Namibia . It enhances and builds capacity in the domains of policy formation and analysis, research, and democratic governance.
The foregoing is ensured through the means listed below:

• Short, modular courses directed at councilors, staff members, supervisors and senior management serving central government institutions, regional councils, local authorities, private sector organisations, NGOs, and civil society organisations

• Development of customised training and research materials

• Contributing to the existing body of knowledge through research that is tailor-made to complement the efforts of its stakeholders in the governance process; and

• Consultancy services to improve the capacity within government, private sector and non-governmental organisations for programme formulation and implementation.

Professional Development:

CPST has built its reputation and continues to do so by innovatively adjusting and adapting its professional development activities in conjunction with the central, regional and local government institutions, private sector, NGOs, and civil society organisations relations program. The result is the provision of high quality training for stakeholders at a reasonable cost. CPST continues this tradition and is open to all opportunities to enhance its programmes in pursuit of public, private sector, NGOs, civil society organisations excellence.

All these programmes are developed on regular basis using a variety of expertise. Workshops are offered across the regions, either as a part of our regular schedule or as requested to do so by the participants. CPST develops and maintains its own programs through inter faculty expertise. These are supplemented by programs provided in conjunction with other schools of government in Africa and other international organisations, in order to meet the needs of the stakeholders and its customers.
