520 3 _aA description and analysis o f the training program offered by the Civil Service College in England to all Recruits in the Administration Trainee Scheme, most of whom subsequently rise to positions of prominence in the British civil service, The objectives, modular approach to training, and learning methods of the program are discussed and comparisons are made to corresponding national programs such as that of the National School of Administration (Ecole National d' Administration or ENA) in France. Among the conclusions of the author, who spent time in London and Sunnindale studying the program in 1984, are: the training is characterized by flexibility in the sense that modules may be taken by the individual recruit over a period of up to six years depending on the exigencies of the service: the program offers many innovative features even though, in terms of content, with the exception of modules that can be skipped by recruits having sufficient knowledge of the subject, it is the same for all; in the total Administration Traniee Scheme with its time-proven emphasis of training on the job, it is difficult to ascertain the net effect of the training on the performance and career of program partifipants. The “fast-stream” recruits contacted attribute their government career advancement to their personal qualities and motivation rather than to the training they received at the Civil Service College
