This course is the most convenient way to get up to speed on this complex area – written by a federal HR professional with 30+ years experience, including service at the Office of Personnel Management.
Author Vicki Braun transforms the relevant laws, regulations and policies into easy-to-digest language, teaching you the four major categories of qualification standards and requirements, the five types of group coverage standards, and the differences between the qualification systems for white- and blue-collar occupations. Plus, you learn the three major steps in job element examining, the importance of the crediting plan, and where to reference qualification standards for Wage Grade positions and General Service positions.
