History Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre was established in 1984. The Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre was established by merging the Bangladesh Administrative Staff College, National Institute of Public Administration, Civil Officers' Training Academy, and the Staff Training Institute. The foundation stone of the centre was laid in December 1981, and the centre became operational on 28 April 1984, as an autonomous body with a rector as its head who is a senior secretary to the government.
The centre has four division units based in Chittagong Division, Dhaka Division, Rajshahi Division, and Khulna Division.

At the silver jubilee celebration of the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reminded the bureaucrats that they were servants of the public and not masters.
In 2010, the Bangladesh Supreme Court announced plans to train judges of lower courts in the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre and the Bangladesh Military Academy.
