The majority of our Executive Programmes are custom-designed for our client organisations. We work closely with our clients to ensure that the programme content and delivery best suit their needs and objectives. Our customised programmes can range from two days to six months. They are held at our training facilities at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, or at client organisations around the world.

Testimonials

“This programme conducted by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy is by far the most practical, informative, interesting and helpful programme among various courses and programmes I have taken in many different countries.”
- Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Dong, National Academy of Public Administration of Vietnam Executive Programme on ‘Leadership, Public Administration Reform and Service Delivery’, January 2006

“It was one of the best (executive) programmes I’ve ever attended. Using real-life case studies from the Singapore Civil Service, the speakers imparted knowledge and skills that have proven to be a great help in my own work. The Singapore success story is clear but interacting and learning from the professionals who actually implemented the policies was a great experience.”
- Eng. Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita, Director, Dubai Land Department, United Arab Emirates Executive Programme on ‘Organisational Excellence in the Public Sector’, April 2006
