Operational Delivery Profession

Operational Delivery Profession (ODP) is the largest profession in government and its members are often the public face of public service. There are a huge range of jobs held by civil servants working in this profession, from a Job Centre Manager to a Data Analyst. ODP is inclusive, flexible, modern and connected - sitting at the heart of public service delivery.

As a Profession, ODP has worked closely with departments to make sure that the learning is suitable across all job roles, grades and departments.

To learn more and for the most up-to-date ODP Learning Curriculum, please visit the Operational Delivery Profession website or email the team.

 

The current Learning Frameworks contract is ending on 30 April 2026. This change will impact when you can book learning linked to our Professions pages. To support you with this transition, any courses impacted by the change will display a notice.

The final date for bookings is 30 April 2026, with learning required to start by 31 July 2026 and finish by 31 January 2027. After this deadline, new bookings will resume after the new contract starts.

These changes are happening across a series of waves and more information can be found here. The products in Wave 1 will not be available to book from 30 June 2025, and products in Wave 2 will not be available to book from 1 November 2025. The products in Wave 3 will need to start by 30 April 2026 and therefore we recommend bookings are made six weeks before this, by 19 March 2026.
