Q: Will the PMC, once earned, require additional training or renewal?
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.
Q: What are “equivalent” EPME courses? Can you give me some
examples?
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.
Q: Can an individual who has separated or retired from the Air Force be eligible for the PMC?
A: No. Once an individual retires, separates or is commissioned, they are no
longer eligible for the PMC.
Q: Is the PMC limited to Air Force SNCO’s?
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.
Q: Is a member from another service of the US
Armed Services or foreign military eligible for the PMC?
A: No. The PMC is offered only to US Air Force enlisted Airmen.
Q: How is an individual nominated for 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.
