The MFA Diplomatic Academy develops and implements the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' training strategy.

We are responsible for enhancing the professional qualifications of employees of the MFA at every stage of their career paths, both in Poland and abroad. 

We organize induction trainings for newly recruited staff, as well as preparatory service programs for individuals starting their careers in the civil service at the Ministry. We also prepare tailor-made training for personnel assigned to positions in our diplomatic missions abroad, ensuring that it corresponds closely to their prospective responsibilities. 

Based on identified needs, we deliver specialized training across various areas of the Ministry’s activity, offered both in Poland and abroad, in addition to programs focused on soft skills and professional competencies. These initiatives are specially designed for diverse groups of employees. 

Furthermore, we support the professional development of the staff of the Ministry and our missions abroad on the basis of individual applications, by providing for e.g. access to a broad range of e-learning opportunities. 

The Diplomatic Academy delivers a special training called Diplomatic and Consular Application for the diplomats-to-be, as well as a dedicated training for the MFA’s employees who wish to join the foreign service called Diplomatic and Consular Seminar. The objective of the Seminar is to prepare the Ministry’s staff to perform diplomatic and consular functions in accordance with the highest standards of professionalism. The Academy is also responsible for the organization and realization of the Diplomatic and Consular Exam. 

One of the Academy’s responsibilities is also the coordination of language training and the enhancement of foreign language proficiency among the MFA staff. This includes processing individual applications for reimbursement of language course fees, verifying and approving documentation certifying foreign language proficiency for newly recruited employees as well as for ministry’s staff assigned to overseas posts, and, where necessary, organizing and conducting Ministry language exams. 

Furthermore, the Diplomatic Academy is responsible for the MFA's collaboration with educational and training institutions both domestically and internationally, including training institutions of foreign ministries from other countries and international organizations. 

The Academy is also responsible for qualifying candidates from the Ministry to participate in training and internships abroad, including at the best universities in the world as well as for selecting the recipients of Polish government’s scholarships for studies at the College of Europe in Bruges and Natolin.

In addition, the Diplomatic Academy supports the implementation of exchange programs for foreign officials.
