 Qualification
Standards
 
Qualification standards are intended to identify applicants who are likely to be able to perform successfully on the job, and to screen out those who are unlikely to do so. Information about work performed in the General Schedule occupational series is contained in the Handbook of Occupational Groups and Series and the Position Classification Standards.

You will find several of the most used standards on this site. For all other standards visit OPM's web site links listed at the bottom of this page.
