What Upravna akademija, Ministrstvo za javno upravo does

Upravna akademija (Administration Academy) is an internal organizational unit within the Slovenian Ministry of Public Administration's Directorate for Quality, operating as the central training institution for the country's state administration. It delivers training programs, structured multi-module curricula (such as the 10-module UVU Leadership in Administration Program), e-learning modules, and statutorily required professional examinations (administrative procedure, inspection, occupational health and safety, minor offense procedures) to civil servants, officials, managers, ICT specialists, public procurement staff, and employees of the broader public sector. It also offers French-language training under a partnership with the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie.

The Academy's core technology is the IS eUA (informacijski sistem eUA) — a web-based training management information system comprising the public website (ua.gov.si), a self-service registration portal (eua-prijave.gov.si), and a coordination support environment. The platform supports the full training lifecycle from registration through certification, integrates with Slovenia's national SI-PASS authentication for single sign-on, and hosts self-paced e-learning content including microlearning units of 10–20 minutes. Delivery occurs in-person at the Ljubljana headquarters (Tržaška cesta 21), remotely via Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and asynchronously through e-learning.

The business model is that of a government unit: the Academy is funded through the Slovenian state budget and EU co-financing instruments (European Social Fund+, NextGenerationEU/Recovery and Resilience Facility, and OIF). Major multi-year programs — UKP (Competences for the Future), NOO (Digital Knowledge Enhancement), and ProfJN (Public Procurement Professionalization) — are provided free of charge to participants. Fee-based programs (kotizacija €55–€683) and professional exam fees apply only to specialized offerings not covered by EU funding, with direct state-budget users exempt from certain mandatory training fees. Marketing and enrollment occur through the official website, a monthly email newsletter, and direct outreach via government HR channels.
