Abstract :The purpose of this study is to determine the targets of distance education applications for in-service training in governmental organisations. Due to large number of staff and cost spent all over the country, it is estimated that ministry level governmental organisations should gain benefit from distance education for in-service professional training. In the scope of the study, it is explained the topic’s importance by giving information about the distance education and in-service training. This study, which is conducted as a document analysis of the strategic plans of government organisations downloaded from their web sites in December 2014, aims to examine goals of distance education for professional development training. Findings of the research indicate that more than half of the governmental organisations do not have any relevant goal, some of them have limited goals and only six organisations have  goals about distance education for professional development training.
