Potential users of the electronic government will be learning how to use the e-gov.kz web portal. There are special schools, which organizers and people, who heard about the electronic government but were unable to learn how to use it, may attend. The young lawyer Nurlan Yeskendir believes that such seminars are very important.

Nurlan Iskendir, Astana resident
«People often need different certificates and to receive them, it is not necessary to ask for permission to leave work but just connect to the internet and receive all necessary information at home.»

After three seminar hours a person will master all necessary skills for working with the portal of the electronic government. From the beginning of June 10 thousands of people found out how to register at the website, what the electronic digital signature is and how people could pay certain taxes and fines.

Ruslan Yensebayev, CEO, National Information Technologies
«Currently, the electronic government portal has 70 interactive, transactional services, and over 2 thousand information services. The portal gave over 6 thousand certificates and it proves that the electronic government is a very useful site. We would like to say that such seminars are very useful.»

Teaching Kazakhstan residents to work with the portal is implemented under the support of the ministry of information and communication. Usually companies, enterprises, and branches of joint stock companies are inviting training managers.

Yermek Mukhanov, Branch Director, KazTransCom JSC
«I am a head of the branch and I am interested in training our employees to work with the electronic government to avoid standing in queues and spending their time. With the help of this site we can do everything from payment for utility services to finishing different certificates in population service centres.»

The education is free in all regions and districts of the country. By the end this year it is planned to conduct seminars in 80 residential areas and teach 70 thousand Kazakhstan residents.
