Training Plans

The Institute of Fiscal Studies exercises the functions of selection and training assigned by its Statutes:

• Collaboration in the civil service selection process of the Ministry of the Economy (MEH)
• Training MEH civil servants
• Cooperation with other Spanish and international Institutions, both in training and skills, and in technical assistance .

Through the Training Division of Public Finance the content is developed for training civil servants and other staff in matters specific to Inland Revenue, including techniques of financial and tax management and administration, budgeting and public spending, drawing up the appropriate long and medium term training programmes in agreement with the executive bodies of the Departments according to their needs.

At the same time, the Institute organises voluntary training programmes for the State Administration as a whole and for other administrative spheres, participating actively in ongoing training programmes developed annually for the Institute’s own staff.

Ongoing Training

The training activities included each year in specific plans are programmed in close collaboration with the different centres, after the training needs of each job have been detected and assessed.

These activities are articulated by sessions or intensive courses which are regularly taught to different professional groups, supported by teaching materials.

The following Ongoing Training plans are run each year:

• Training Plan for the State Tax Administration Agency (AEAT)
• Training Plan for General Intervention of the State Administration (IGAE)
• Training Plan for the General Directorate of the Property Register
• Training Plan for the General Directorate of Insurance and Pension Funds
• Training Plan for the General Directorate of State Assets
• Training Plan for the General Directorate of Budgets
• Specific training for the General Directorate of Financial Coordination with the Autonomous Communities
• Specific training for the General Services Inspection of the MEH

Voluntary Training

In the framework of the Ongoing Training Agreements held between the unions and the Public Administration, a range of training activities have been developed which continues to expand each year, with a strong emphasis on support for internal promotion.

The activities of this Training Plan were designed by the State Tax Administration Agency, the Institute of Fiscal Studies and the rest of the management centres of the Ministry of the Economy.

They usually consist of instrumental materials such as computer use, languages, accounting, workplace risk prevention, management skills, etc, and also focus on preparing civil servants for access to other departments of the Ministry of the Economy.

The Institute of Fiscal Studies carries out training in person and through its virtual Campus.
