TRAINING AND MODERNISATION SECTION
It is a tradition of the Department to offer the necessary training and vocational education to all its personnel, depending of course on the duties of each individual employee. The Department has an organised training centre at the Department's Headquarters in Nicosia, and a training centre at the Land Information Centre. From time to time and depending on the needs of the Service, courses are also held at external training centres and at the Cyprus Academy of Public Administration, with which the Department cooperates. The Department also undertakes training courses for the personnel of other Departments and Services on matters falling within its remit.
