Required to conduct DE work as part of your current job?  Begin here – OPM DE Certification Preparation Toolkit. 

We are pleased to announce the release of a toolkit for DE staff and their supervisors.  The toolkit includes a DE Capstone exercise and sample of DE scenario questions, with additional emphasis toward on-the-job experiences in preparation for the DE Certification Assessment.

Review the DE Certification Preparation Toolkit document for description of the following:

1 – Delegated Examining Capstone exercise

2 – Sample DE Scenario Questions

3- DE Certification Assessment Information Sheet

Other resources are linked within the toolkit itself. 

* Please note, the DE Certification Program Guide is under review to reflect two main changes communicated previously:  the waiting period after first fail of the Assessment is now 30 days instead of 60 (communicated January 26, 2022) and DE certified staff who fail the Assessment are not DE certified until they successfully pass the Assessment (communicated with extension on November 9, 2020).]
