What Krajowa Szkoła Administracji Publicznej does

Krajowa Szkoła Administracji Publicznej (KSAP), officially named after President Lech Kaczyński, is Poland's only national-level public administration training institution. Established by law in 1990 and headquartered at ul. Wawelska 56 in Warsaw, KSAP operates under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister through the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (Kancelaria Prezesa Rady Ministrów). The institution provides two core educational pathways: a 19-month full-time stationary program for prospective civil servants and an 18-month dual program (monthly week-long sessions) for working civil servants and state office employees.

KSAP's service portfolio extends well beyond these two programs. It maintains a catalog of more than 100 active training dates spanning legislation, administrative law, public procurement, human resources, leadership, project management, and digital competencies. Specialized academies cover women's leadership (Akademia Liderek), strategic HR partnership, ESG implementation, plain language communication, project management, modern leadership, cybersecurity and information security, and public procurement. The institution offers language courses in eight languages, an asynchronous e-learning platform including the e-Governance Preparation Course in Civil Service (E-służba Przygotowawcza w Służbie Cywilnej), and CAF (Common Assessment Framework) certification services. Its subsidiary, Forum Zarządzania Publicznego (FZP), functions as a Public Administration Support Center hosting conferences, innovation competitions, and annual reports on public management topics.

KSAP generates revenue primarily through state budget allocations, supplemented by training fees that vary by program type (300 PLN for short workshops up to 1,200 PLN for multi-day programs). Courses are delivered by over 100 practitioners drawn from government offices, academia, and the private sector. The institution holds partnerships with international counterparts including INSP (France), BAKöV (Germany), HAUS (Finland), EIPA, ESA, IIAS, NISPAcee, DISPA, NACS (Taiwan), and others, and participates in EU Eastern Partnership and Polish Aid international development programs. KSAP does not have private shareholders, does not pursue commercial equity, and does not disclose revenue figures publicly.
