Continuing Education FAQs

1. What is the Continuing Education Program?

Continuing Education is a relatively new concept for FBI employees. Although education and training have always been a part of the FBI culture, it has never been a job requirement. The Continuing Education Program places education and development of all FBI employees at the forefront. The Continuing Education Program is a comprehensive training strategy encouraging individual employee development. This is the policy which drives the employee development component of the new Performance Appraisal System.

2. How can I obtain my 15 hours required by this policy?

The hours of training must be approved by your supervisor. The determination of the worth of the activity--the number of CEU (Continuing Education Units), the type of the activity, etc.--is done in conjunction with your supervisor. A record needs to be kept by the employee of all activities that have been completed.
