The Foundational Diplomatic Program is an intensive program held over a period of six months. The program is the final stage of the entry-level diplomatic assessment (ELDA) and constitutes the probation period for candidates. The program is divided into two time periods, one of which represents the theoretical academic aspect of diplomatic work, while the other period focuses on practical training in different departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which gives candidates real practical experience in both the political and administrative sectors. The program attaches great importance to the application of acquired knowledge in the diplomatic context, while ensuring that candidates receive comprehensive training that is consistent with the requirements of diplomatic work.
