Over the short period of time, the institution has gained a wealth of experience in training senior state officials and employees for government agencies, state administration bodies and local authorities, the message stated. 

The State Service Academy under the President of Turkmenistan enjoys growing prestige with every year as a major educational institution, training highly-skilled state officials, who are able to worthily represent our country’s interests. The use of research and teaching methods, best practices, new knowledge, research studies focused on key issues of state policy, educational books and monographs are highly instrumental in continued professional development of government employees. 

In the contemporary context, the organization of the government system requires high standards of professionalism, extensive knowledge and comprehensive training to keep up with the times. For this purpose, the state provides everything necessary to improve the activity of the State Service Academy under the President of Turkmenistan. 

The Academy’s alumni have contributed significantly to the impressive achievements in strengthening the political, economic and socio-cultural sectors.
