This study developed an exhaustive analysis of the international experience to elucidate the different strategies of three training schools for public servers in human capital development within the public service of their countries, and contrast that experience with the chilean case, giving special attention to the training of local government officials. It is proposed that, following the new law, the institutions of the ``Academia de Formación'' must coordinate efforts, resources, actors and wills, so the training provided by the Academy would be associated with the promotion, increasing of degrees and would be priority for recruitment and selection to cover positions available in municipalities entering the system, as in the case of the international schools studied.
