Ministry of Defence: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the training programmes used by civil servants in his Department since 2020.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
Civil servants have access to a wide range of training through the Government Campus and Civil Service Learning (CSL), covering areas including leadership, policy, digital and project management skills. Key provision includes Civil Service Essentials, Line Management Induction, and specialised courses on security, policy‑making and communications. A recommended learning curriculum is published on GOV.UK at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/the-civil-service-recommended-curriculum.
Defence also provides training for its Civil Service workforce through a range of internal programmes, including classified courses and profession and domain specific training, which are organised and delivered at a local level.
A comprehensive list of all training programmes within the scope of the question is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
