Training for Supervisors & Military Supervisors of APF Civilians

Supervisors and managers are the nexus between Government policy and action, and the link between management and employees. Effective supervision increases motivation, clarifies expectations, and strengthens organizational performance. To build and sustain the skills required, supervisors (military and civilian) of civilian employees must complete initial and recurring mandatory training.

While the listed requirements represent the minimum training standards, supervisors are highly encouraged to pursue further professional development, including leadership programs, coaching, and experiential learning.

Supervisors must complete ALL required supervisory training within one year of being assigned to a supervisory position and every three years thereafter. 

New Supervisory Mandatory Trainings beginning in FY2027
Four (4) new courses have been added to the supervisory requirement portfolio. All supervisors, including military supervisors of civilians, are required to take these trainings in their first year and triennially (every three years) thereafter.
  • 00-SUPV Structured Interview Training
  • 00-SUPV Structured Resume Review
  • 00-SUPV Merit Hiring Plan Overview
  • 00-SUPV Unacceptable Performance
  **NEW** Modernized Test-Out Framework

Supervisors can now test out of eight (8) designated mandatory training courses directly within Waypoints. Supervisors who score 80% or higher on a Waypoints pre-assessment satisfy their FY27 requirement. Those who do not pass or are taking the course for the first time, must complete the standard full-length course.

     Eligible Courses for FY27 Test-Out:

  • 00-DON-DoD Mandatory Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Training
  • 00-DON Identifying and Safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
  • 00-DON Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR)
  • 00-SUPV Labor Relations (in the process of trying to have this course removed; will provide update) 
  • 00-SUPV Drug-Free Workplace
  • 00-SUPV Coaching, Counseling & Mentoring
  • 00-SUPV Workers’ Compensation
  • 00-SUPV Telework Training for DON Supervisors
All other FY27 Mandatory Training requirements outside of these eight designated courses must be completed in full.
