TRAINING

Foundational Programs

The foundational programs at the Academy are created based on a detailed approach to what is required of diplomats at various levels in their careers. They also aim to contribute to an overall culture of meritocracy that is built upon the idea of life-long learning. In addition to practical learning, the programs are based on an overall sense of pressure so that diplomats are prepared to meet the fast paced environment of the 21st century.
