Civilian Education System (CES)
Are you aware CES has just changed?
Department of the Army released ALARACT 121/2012 in Apr 12 updating CES policy as follows: CES course attendance is now targeted towards specific civilian grades and employees will now attend the CES course targeted for their current grade. Civilians may not enroll in a course that is higher than their current grade but may enroll in a course targeted for a lower grade. The CES courses and grade targets are: Foundation course (FC) GS01 – 15 (mandatory for employees with hire date after 30 Sep 06) Basic Course (BC) GS01 – 09, NAF 3 Intermediate Course (IC) GS10 – 12, NAF 4 Advanced Course (AC) GS13 – 15, NAF 5 Cont. Education (CESL) GS14 – 15, NAF 5 Also, the 10-year rule for equivalent course credit has been rescinded. Employees who have completed specific TRADOC approved Professional Military Education (PME) or Legacy Civilian Leader Development Courses at any time in the past will have met the requirement for their target CES course. Civilians may view their eligibility profile and register for a CES course at this link: https://www.atrrs.army.mil/channels/chrtas/student/main.aspx First time users must create a student profile to have access to their information or to register for a course.
