This Public Administration Level 5 Training course consists of 7 structured lectures, followed by an assessment, each addressing a core area of public administration knowledge and professional understanding.

Learners then explore administrative theories and practices, examining classical, modern, and contemporary approaches to public sector organisation and management.
Organisational behaviour and management focus on leadership, motivation, communication, and decision-making within public organisations. Public policy and decision making examine how policies are formulated, implemented, and evaluated within political and administrative systems.
Public finance and budgeting introduce principles of public expenditure, budgeting processes, accountability, and financial management within the public sector. Human resource management in the public sector explores recruitment, performance management, workforce development, and ethical employment practices.
The course concludes with public administration and law, examining legal frameworks, regulatory environments, accountability mechanisms, and the rule of law as they relate to public sector administration.
