A: The PMC is a one-time certification. There will not be a re-certification process and continuing education credits (CEU) will not be required for currency.
A: Individuals must complete the ALS, NCOA and SNCOA or their equivalent. The PMC program requires completion of 30 semester hours (SH) of leadership/management coursework with at least 6 of the 30 SH from an accredited civilian institution or exam credit (CLEP/DSST/Excelsior). The leadership/management courses must emphasize the fundamentals of leadership and/or management of human resources (i.e. Principles of Management, Personnel Management, Human Resource Management, Principles of Supervision, or Organizational Behavior). If an individual has not completed enough hours through EPME or equivalent, they must fulfill the remaining hours through acceptable civilian courses or exam credit.
Example: If an individual completed the DL versions of ALS (6 SH), NCOA (8 SH) and the Web-based SNCOA (4 SH), they would have earned 18 SH. In this case, the individual would need to complete 12 SH of acceptable civilian courses or exam credit to complete the total 30 SH requirement.
A: Equivalent EPME courses are other-service or international PME courses that satisfy requirements for personnel actions, i.e. senior-rater endorsement, promotion, etc. Examples are the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard senior enlisted academies and the Canadian senior enlisted course. Note: ACE credit recommendations will apply toward the 30 SH requirement.
A: No. Once an individual retires, separates or is commissioned, they are no longer eligible for the PMC.
A: No, not necessarily. If an enlisted Airman (TSgt with a line number to MSgt for example) completes all levels of EPME, and other program requirements, he or she may be nominated and awarded the PMC.
A: Individuals are formally recommended for certification by their unit commander or commandant. A sample Letter of Recommendation is available for download on CCAF’s website at http://www.au.af.mil/au/ccaf/certifications.asp .
Please note: Eligible members do not process the request for award of the PMC through the ESO. AF Form 968/Snapshot is not required. The PMC Letter of Recommendation is sent directly from the commander or commandant to the CCAF Credentialing Programs flight.
A: Due to OPSEC contact your education center
