Training Systems for Civil Servants in the CIS Countries
( Pp. 149-159)

The article deals with the development of public education systems for civil servants in the context of administrative reform in the countries of the post-Soviet space. A comparative analysis of the education systems of civil servants in 10 countries of the post-Soviet space was carried out based on the study of the basic laws on civil service, as well as other regulatory legal acts. The study examined the laws on the civil service, which is carried out in public administration bodies, the sample did not include special legislative acts regulating the features of the civil service in individual bodies. In all countries, one way or another, the right of civil servants to vocational training or vocational education at the expense of budgetary funds is secured. The legislation of the CIS countries on civil service retains a common approach to determining the forms of additional professional education for civil servants. The most popular forms of additional professional education are retraining; training; internship. However, there are some national peculiarities, for example, in the frequency or duration of training. For civil servants in some countries, specialized training programs are also implemented at the expense of the budget – master’s and doctoral studies. There is a high centralization of vocational education systems for civil servants in the countries studied. As a result, the authors identified countries with a “traditional”, “European” and “mixed” approach to the implementation of additional professional education.
