CDSE Will Release, New For FY12, The DoD Personnel Security Management For Security Professionals Course (PS212.01)
August 11, 2011 - This 40-hour, instructor-led course combines the Personnel Security Seminar and JPAS/JCAVS Training for Security Professionals course. This course reviews the management practices and procedures required to administer the Department of Defense (DoD) Personnel Security Program (PSP). The course also identifies the types of personnel security investigations (PSIs) that DoD uses and those duties and position designations associated with each PSI. It outlines administrative procedures for preparing and submitting electronic requests for PSIs. Additionally, the course reviews adjudicative guidelines used for determining eligibility, explores the requirements for reporting adverse information, and identifies requirements and procedures for granting interim/temporary eligibility. The course uses practical exercises to reinforce knowledge and skills acquired through prerequisite courses.
This course also provides an overview of the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) and a detailed explanation of its subsystem, the Joint Clearance and Access Verification System (JCAVS), used extensively by Department of Defense (DoD) personnel security managers (PSMs) and contractor Facility Security Officers (FSOs) for eligibility, access, and investigation verification. The course emphasizes the administrative procedures of JCAVS, focusing on the personnel eligibility and access processes, and was recently reformatted to include hands-on exercises that allow students to navigate various windows within JPAS and practice specific actions for performing desired functions.
Target Audience: DoD civilian, military, and contractor personnel performing personnel security duties.
Prerequisites: Introduction to Personnel Security (PS113.16 and Exam PS 113.06), Introduction to DoD Personnel Security Adjudication (PS001.18 and Exam PS 001.08), and JPAS/JCAVS Virtual Training for Security Professionals (PS123.16 and Exam PS123.06)
