Competency Assessment

Proficiency with a competency can be measured using the competency assessment tool in the LMS, which uses OPM’s five-point rating scale to assess proficiency based on demonstrated abilities to apply a competency in different situations and/or circumstances. Behavior examples are provided for each of the proficiency levels to assist in pragmatic rating. Self-assessments and supervisory assessments can be initiated by DOE employees and/or their supervisors.
