TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE EVALUATION
 
The ASSOCIATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER (ARCHEOLOGY) examination is being given on an Open Non-Promotional basis.  This examination will consist of submitting an STD678 and a self-assessment Training and Experience Evaluation. 
This questionnaire is the only phase of the exam and is designed to elicit a range of specific information regarding each candidate's knowledge, abilities, and experience to effectively perform the duties relative to the classification.  Candidates are responsible for reading all of the material provided prior to completing this questionnaire.  Responses will be evaluated using pre-determined rating criteria.  In order to obtain a position on the eligible list, a minimum rating of 70% must be attained.  Please answer questions completely since incomplete responses and omitted information cannot be considered and/or assumed.  Resumes, letters of reference, and other materials will not be evaluated or considered as responses to items in the Training and Experience Evaluation. (NOTE: Failure to meet the entrance requirements and/or to complete this evaluation accurately will result in elimination from this examination.) Candidates who fail to follow instructions and/or who solicit input or assistance from others to complete this questionnaire will be eliminated from the examination. 

This examination requires respondents to submit an STD 678 and answer 14 self-rating questions. The examination answers cannot be saved for completion at a later time, therefore, the examination MUST be completed in one session.  

The STD.678 is required to be uploaded prior to proceeding with the Supplemental Application Questionnaire.  The STD.678 must be in a PDF format to be uploaded. Click here for the link to the (STD.678) form if you do not already have one available to submit.
