As referenced in the PA-22-05, all ethics officials can work towards an Annual Professional Ethics Practitioner Certificate.

OGE designed the annual PEP certificate for ethics officials who are performing some or all functions of an ethics program at full competency and

wish to maintain their skills and stay current with policy changes and developing practices in the ethics profession.

 

Each year OGE will host a variety of offerings that will be eligible for PEP credits such as virtual lectures on recent advisories, peer-to-peer and

other workshops, DAEO meetings, networking events, community meetings, and recorded and interactive trainings on a wide range of ethics

topics. In addition, many existing virtual courses have been labeled and are eligible for PEP credits.

 

These are labeled in the IEG Education Library.

 

OGE has developed a progress chart to use to track progress toward a PEP certificate.  When you have completed the courses, you can submit

them using the PEP Certification Submission Form to receive your certificate.
