Quality of public administration is one of the key factors for the overall European Union competitiveness. Public administration reflects institutional foundations of how member states are run, while the quality of governance and of public administration in particular determine performance of all public policies and services. Public administration addresses the needs of society and frames its functioning through organisational structures, processes, roles, policies and programmes, shaping economic prosperity, social cohesion and sustainable growth. It defines quality and accessibility of public services and moulds environment for creation of public value. Modern, innovative and efficient public administration is thus essential for sustaining crisis recovery and unlocking further growth potential of the European Union.

It is self-evident that the quality, efficiency and innovation within public administration processes and institutions are conditioned by qualifications of public sector employees responsible for relevant public services & governance areas. Along with accelerated digitalization of all kinds of professional activities, an extraordinary role is associated with Information Technologies qualifications. The role of IT in growth of the private sector cannot be underestimated and a similar wide-scale adoption of ever-smarter IT processes is taking place in the public sector, which cannot lag behind the economy environment it itself conditions. This is well pronounced in the conclusions of the European Commission's "Quality of public administration" November 2016 survey, recognizing that a real shift towards e-government depends on IT skills and competencies quality of staff at all levels of public administration structures.

The European Information Technologies Certification Academy for public administration is a dedicated programme aimed to bridge the gap in IT skills proliferation at all levels of public services and governance. The EITCA/EG standard is designed to provide a common EU framework for quality in development and sustaining of proper and up to date qualifications of public administration staff. Due to this common standard in certification and attestation of IT competencies, deficiencies of IT based processes in public sectors of the member states are deemed to be reduced for the benefit of the EU citizens, supporting an increase of public services accessibility, efficiency and quality. The EITCA/EG programme for public administration is maintained by the European Information Technologies Certification Institute and implements the Digital Agenda for Europe, forming one of the seven pillars of the Europe 2020 Strategy.

  • Didactic process can be started at any moment (recruitment is open throughout the whole year) and can be carried out at any time (e.g. at evening hours or on weekends) and from any location, with the use of any client device with Internet access.
  • The up to date and functional didactic resources are constantly available for the participant 24/7 within the e-learning platform.
  • A wide scope of the didactic content allows to tailor the learning process to the needs of both beginners and advanced participants.
  • All didactic content is available as electronic resources in the e-learning platform (e-lectures, e-exercises and e-laboratories).
  • Each EITC programme can be completed even in only 2 days, while EITCA Academy programme can be completed in a period corresponding to the number of EITC programmes it contains, e.g. in case of EITCA/CG Academy it would be 18 days (a usual standard period of completion is one month).
  • There are however no time-requirements for completion of EITC/EITCA programmes, and the time of completion fully depends on the participant's preference on learning intensity.

The EITC/EITCA interactive didactic process on the e-learning platform includes an unlimited availability of expert consultations. On-line consultancy can be initiated at any time by the participant who requires assistance.

It can be also extended to tutorials and advices, up to individual didactic approach based on the progress of the participant. Consultancies are based on the e-learning platform communication system as well as individual e-mail contact and if required real-time chat with experts.

The e-learning platform processes statistics of all learning activities of the participant during didactic programme implemenation and thus allows consulting experts to individualize their approach in proper assisting of the participant learning needs. Detailed activity reports are prepared automatically by the platform and presented to the consulting experts so they can know which parts of the programme were most problematic and require focus. The model of individual tutoring and coaching depending on the learning needs of participants is based upon similar aproaches in the leading universities and is characterized by increasing learning effectiveness additionally motivating participants to increased effort in learning when they decide to initiate consultancy assistance.

The examination has a form of a closed test, including 15 random multiple-choice test questions on the given EITC course content. This remote test is taken by the participant within the e-learning platform (where the participant is presented with the interactive test which implements random choice of test questions, the ability to return to answered or unanswered questions and time limitation which is 45 minutes). The EITC examination passing score is 60% positive answers but failure in achieving this limit enables participant to retake the exam without additional fees (there are 2 free retake attempts, after which further examination retakes require a payment fee amounting to 20 Euro to be processed). Participant can retake a passed test to improve the score for better presentation on the certification.

Completion of all EITC exams which constitute an EITCA certification results in issuing to the participant the relevant EITCA Academy certification, together with all included EITC certificates. There are no additional EITCA Academy examinations (the examinations are only assigned to EITC courses, passing each of them results with an EITC certification issuing, while the EITCA Academy certification is only issued after passing a relevant group of EITC examinations). The scores presented on the EITCA Academy certification are the scores of all EITC certifications comprising a certain EITCA Academy. All the procedures are implented fully remotely in Brussels and the ceritificate is sent to the participant, while the digital certification is permamently stored in the EITCI validation service.

Certification process along with all the examinations is conducted fully remotely on-line within a modern e-learning platform in an asynchronous mode. Thanks to flexibly of organized e-learning didactic process along with all the examinations carried out remotely and asynchronously via Internet (allowing highest flexibility in time with participant self organizing his learning activity at his / her convenience), physical presence of the participant is not necessary, therefore many barriers are eliminated.

The EITCA Academy and EITC certifications are compatible with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (in short ECTS). If you study on the European university (not necessarily in the EU but in the country participating in the ECTS standard) you can account EITCA Academy or EITC courses completion for your ongoing undergraduate or postgraduate studies programme within a national-level higher education system. This is possible as the EITCA Academy and EITC certifications are ECTS standard compatibile, and have assigned ECTS scores according to the standard specification. Nevertheless it is still a decision on the side of the university administration to accept or decline accounting of completion of a certain EITC certification course in your academic studies programme (such inquiry should be made to the Dean office along with the relevcant EITC/EITCA certifications and their supplements). The EITC and EITCA certifications are provided with the detailed programme supplements that will allow for a proper consideration of contentwise equivalence with a relevant university course or the corresponding ammount of qualifications and competencies even by the universities in the countries which are not participating in the ECTS system.

EITCA Academies consist of groups of individual EITC Certification programmes, each of those being assigned with the defined number of the ECTS credits, awarded after obtaining the Certification. The EITC/EITCA percantage based grading scale is also fully compatible with the ECTS grading scale, thus supporting acceptance of external learning results. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) serves as a EU based standard for comparing the academic study attainment and performance of students of higher education across the European Union and other European countries seeking to participate in the ECTS standard. For successfully completed courses relevant numbers of ECTS credits are awarded. The ECTS credits serve as a reference to compare complexity of courses in different higher educational institutions and by agreements between these institutions to acknowledge the courses completed in different institutions on the basis of ECTS credits support international exchange of EU students and studying abroad. It should be noted that many countries have similar standards, which can easily account ECTS credits too. Gaining ECTS credits in EITC/EITCA programme will certainly add-up positively to your academic conduct at any university.
