Here you can access high-quality, equitable learning created for public servants of all levels.  We have organised learning into two categories: core capability and system capability.

Core capability learning supports the Public Service Act and aims to build the key skills, capability and knowledge on those things unique to being a public servant in our Aotearoa New Zealand context.

System capability learning has been shared by functional leads, system leads or heads of profession. This learning includes common capabilities required across the Public Service system that are relevant for a large target audience, on broad topics such as finance, policy or Māori Crown relationships.
