The Civil Service Colleges’ vision is to inspire, engage, and realize the potential of people for public service excellence in a global market-place through life-long learning opportunities. The CSC approach to learning is a competency based learning model which goes beyond traditional education. A competency based model of learning provides students with the knowledge, skills and experience that are directly associated with the capacity to do a function or set of functions at a specific level of performance and under certain conditions. Competency based development enables civil servants to: * Do the work currently assigned at the standards of excellence expected. * Continually enhance job competencies in order to constantly improve performance on the job. * Work collaboratively with co-workers & bosses towards achieving common organizational objectives. * Enhance capacity to do more complex work & handle more responsible functions that are vital to the strategic development and future goals of public service organizations. * Manage their own professional development. Since the objective of each course is to achieve measurable competencies, the length of study depends on the individual student’s ability and dedication, not on the school calendar.
