Government Leadership Competencies and Recommended AMA Seminars

It is required by law that the qualifications of each new career appointee to the Senior Executive Service (SES) be certified by an independent Qualifications Review Board based on criteria established by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) describe the leadership skills needed to succeed in the SES.

Each section in the chart below begins with the fundamental competencies that serve as the foundation for each of the five Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs). Under each competency you will find the AMA seminars that align with this specific skill and the Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) offered for each seminar.
