Public Authorities & Civil Service

Public Authorities & Civil Servants

The FOI Unit has designed and developed training programmes for public officials in different categories including:

A three day comprehensive training course for Information Managers;
A one day practical class to use the JADE tracking system;
A half-day session for civil servants who require a basic overview of the concepts of FOI; and
A full-day training course for Chief Officers and managers of public authorities on internal review.

These courses are delivered in association with the Civil Service College of the Cayman Islands and the Computer Services Department.
