Federal Position Classification & Management Training in Washington, DC or Live Online

Excellent job!

It definitely helped me to better understand how PD's should be written to make sure you get the write person for the job.

Ashley Otto made a complex subject approachable and genuinely cared about how each student learned. Her teaching style, patience, and willingness to work through questions made this one of the most useful courses I’ve taken. I would absolutely recommend both the course and Ashley as an instructor.

Instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable. Good class.

Great Instructor. Very knowledgeable and engaging

I enjoyed the class and found it very informative. That is coming from someone who had almost zero knowledge of the subject going in.

I would highly recommend managers and supervisors attend this course. Deirdre Pearson equipped us with the necessary skills to ensure our workforce will be properly shaped.

I had an outstanding experience with the Position Classification for Supervisors and Administrative Staff course. I highly recommend this course to my colleagues as it effectively teaches the fundamental concepts of the classification process, position descriptions, and the legal basis for classification.

I cannot say enough how much knowledge Ashley had and the ability to be patient and flexible with all of the questions the class would have, and still get through the material. I took away the general understanding of how to navigate through the standards, guides, and build the confidence in how to provide support to the hiring managers and supervisors with building PDs appropriately with the mindset of what classification specialist will be looking for, etc.

Ms. Otto did a great job keeping the class engaged in a topic that can be very dense. She was easy-going, had good real-world examples and was generous with her time to answer questions.

Instructor was very open and welcomed questions.

The instructor (Anna Valdez) was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to understand. She created a positive learning environment, explained the materials clearly, and was always willing to answer questions. Overall, I had a positive experience with this course.

Great learning experience over all! Nothing to complain about.

I recommend this class for seasoned career HR professionals. Although this can be useful knowledge for those new to classification or resource management/workforce planning, staffing, etc., I do not think this course should be for someone brand new to those career fields. . . . LOVED the course! LOVED the instructor. Thank you!!

This course provided a clear and practical understanding of federal position management. The instructor presented the material in an engaging way, and the exercises reinforced how to apply the concepts to staffing, classification, workload analysis, and organizational structure decisions. I highly recommend this course to professionals in these areas!!

The Fundamentals of Position Management course gave me exactly what I needed to strengthen my work as an HR Classifier. The training helped me understand how organizational structure, workflow, and position design all tie together, and it provided practical tools I can apply immediately—like reviewing spans of control, validating duties through workflow analysis, and ensuring positions are aligned to mission requirements. I now feel more confident evaluating position descriptions and advising managers on how to structure their workforce more effectively. This course truly elevated the quality and accuracy of my classification work.

The instructor was very knowledgeable about position classification.

Learned so much about Federal Position Management. Thank you Beth for teaching the course!

Instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and kept the class moving forward.

Good material, helpful.

Overall good. Learned lots from my peers in group work since they talked about their own experiences

This was an excellent and challenging course. The content was highly valuable, and I gained a deep understanding of classification concepts that I will be able to directly apply to my current role,

Ms. Otto does a great job teaching the course material. She provided personal experiences, answered our questions, and helped the class to understand the semantics of Classification. The material is not exciting, but Ms. Otto did a good job of keeping the class engaged.

Great content and materials.

A lot of information but I really enjoyed this class and would recommend.
