The Zangrillo Directive
The Zangrillo Directive requires 40 hours of training. We help you make the most of them.
- Meet training requirements in full compliance with the Directive
- Build a learning journey that creates impact and delivers public value
- Develop managerial capabilities, not just technical skills
- Immediately apply what you learn within your organization
- Improve performance, streamline processes, and drive innovation
The Zangrillo Directive makes 40 hours of training mandatory for public sector employees. We help turn a regulatory requirement into a strategic opportunity.
With SDA Bocconi programs for public sector professionals, you can:
Upon request, participants may take a post-program assessment at the end of the course to verify the competencies acquired. Successful completion of the assessment entitles participants to receive a certificate attesting the positive outcome of the training, in compliance with the Zangrillo Directive of 16 January 2025.
