Over time, the school evolved to offer courses as needed, ensuring ongoing education for Treasury personnel.
In 2015, the school underwent a revival, ushering in a new era of excellence. Certified instructors were carefully selected and entrusted with the noble task of imparting specialized training in technical subjects. These courses not only enhance expertise but also play a pivotal role in fostering internal knowledge management.
