The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will provide a list of training programmes used by civil servants in her department since 2020.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department for Transport provides learning opportunities to civil servants through Civil Service Learning Frameworks, internally developed learning, and externally procured training.

For the purpose of this response, training programmes are defined as any learning undertaken by staff, ranging from single-day workshops to qualifications that may take several years to complete.

The attached spreadsheet lists training that has been booked and completed via the Civil Service Learning Frameworks and covers core skills, specialist skills and profession-focused training and internal core skill related training. Please note that any externally procured training is not included, as there is no central list available for this. In the case of externally procured training, this will have followed established commercial processes.
