Professional Ethics Practitioner (PEP) Certificate
OGE designed the annual PEP certificate for the ethics officials who are performing some or all functions of an ethics program at full competency and who wish to maintain their skills and stay current with policy changes and devloping practices in the ethics profession. OGE will hold a variety of PEP offerings each year, such as virtual lectures on recent advisories, peer-to-peer and other workshops, networking opportunities, community meetings, and recorded and interactive trainings on a wide range of ethics topics.
Ethics officials who attend/complete six or more such offerings in a calendar year may self-certify completion to OGE to earn a certificate. Further information about PEP can be found in the PEP Explainer (PDF), and you can track your progress using this progress chart.
To apply for your certificate, use the Application for PEP Certificate (2025).
