OPM delegates the authority to fill competitive civil service jobs to agencies, which is known as Delegated Examining. The DE Certification program prepares HR Specialists to ensure that applicants will be recruited from all segments of society, participate in a fair and open competition, and be selected on the basis of their competencies and merit. Successful completion of the Certification Assessment is required for staff involved in competitive hiring appointments. - Federal Human Resources Institute (FHRI)
FHRI is a government-wide initiative to close skills gaps and enable the Federal HR workforce’s capability. Utilizing a standardized, competency-based development approach, employees can take 22 staffing and 2 classification courses via a virtual instructor-led delivery approach.
