A cyberFEDS^® eLearning Course

Every time you need to screen applicants and make placement decisions for current or former competitive service employees, you have to apply the federal qualification standards. 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.
