Management in the Portuguese Public Sector

[This post's addressing is broader to Project Management - I just didn't find necessary to open a 'Management' label.]

My father is taking a course in public administration management. The course is 'FORGEP - Formação em Gestão Pública', targets middle management and consists of:

• 120 hours of classes
  
• 60 hours of e-learning
• hundred of hours in reading material
• workgroup projects
• a final certification exam

The program is very interesting:

1. Ethics, Public Administration and Public Administration Management
2. Leadership and Leadership Management
3. Budget and Resource Management
4. Technological Management
5. Innovation and Quality
6. Internationalization and prospective

I found the course very appealing, and I'm very pleased to find the Portuguese Public Sector is narrowing the gap to us in the private world :)

Good luck for your exam, dad :)
