ECQ Online Writing Courses

Our ECQ Online Course Prepares You To Meet OPM’s Requirements

All of our tools and training in our online ECQ writing courses reflect the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) guidelines and our best practices learned from collaborating with more than 5,000 SES applicants. We’ve researched, studied, and only advise on all proven best practices. SES Writers (CareerPro Global) has even launched an internally based Quality Management System and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) based on our observations of OPM’s preferences.

By focusing on your best executive leadership career stories and understanding what pitfalls to avoid, we prepare you on how to best hone your executive-level career stories. From the Best Practices video, to the exclusive ECQ builders, to the training provided for each individual executive core qualification, every part of this course is designed to help you “lay out the red carpet” and present your best career stories and accomplishments in a way that OPM will appreciate and understand.

“Thank you so much to Instructor Lee. He has done an excellent job teaching ECQ and everything around it. I learned more than what I expected. In addition to ECQ, he provided insights about resumes and TQ, which are really helpful. He also answered all questions we had about ECQs, including the process. So, it is more than just teaching what is or should be in ECQ. He has made this class a really great class. Thank you!”

C.K., recent ECQ workshop student from DHS

We have to get a version of this program to our GS-13, 14,15s so that they may have the SES mindset and be preparing the ECQs all along.

DHS Class Participant

Lee was extremely knowledgeable and awesome in delivering “a lot” of information in 2-days. This was my first opportunity to learn about ECQs and completed the training confident in writing my ECQs. Thank You Mr. Kelley!

Recent Training Class Participant

I think Lee did an amazing job. I came to the program pretty knowledgeable about ECQs but it was from so much independent research and studying, but as I listened to the way he explained things, I couldn’t help but think about how much easier my learning experience would have been had I had taken this class much sooner. Through his examples, he made it easy to understand breaking down the competencies and how to apply them.

Recent DHS Class Participant

CareerPro Global did an exceptional job working with me on my resume, ECQ, TQ and DQs. There was a great deal of back and forth discussion which was extremely helpful. The end result was far better than expected.

Catherine F.

Well everybody loved it–including an SES friend who sat SES selection boards. Thanks again, and let me know if you need anything more for the ECQs.

D.H.

Even though I have a Masters Degree in English Literature, writing Executive Career Qualifications (ECQs) is a complicated, one-time task!  Lee Kelley guided me through the process and offered focused feedback that made my essays much sharper.  As a busy executive, I was pulled to tell too much of the story which distracted me from the key results that OPM wants to see.  My ECQs passed OPM on the first submission and my assigned mentor remarked that they were the best he had seen.  I highly recommend this team if you ever consider applying for the Senior Executive Service.

Dewaine B.

I found the leadership of CareerPro Global to possess integrity in purpose, solid knowledge of the government application process, an understanding of my personal concerns and the decisions I was making in respect to career pursuits. These qualities were important to me and influenced my decision to use their services. The Federal Resume, ECQs, and PTQs that were my final product reflected a significant insight into my 30 year military career, my qualifications for the position I was applying for, and more importantly, my character. As a result, I am very satisfied with my CareerPro Global experience.

Gary S., Ret Colonel U.S. Marines

Excellent Service! The writers have a comprehensive understanding of developing ECQs and KSAs. The investment is career enhancing.

Jerome B.

I sent the first few ECQs to a colleague of mine who reviews the applicant packages and “sits” on the ranking panels. His comments on the first ECQs “These ECQS look great! In fact, they’re better than most of the ones I’ve seen while sitting on selection panels.” I am really happy that I partnered with you in my endeavor for a SES position.

ECQs CERTIFIED: OPM certified my ECQs last week for my new job. I appreciate your assistance. I was selected for the position. Thank you CareerPro Global.

S.S.

CareerPro and Lee were wonderful to work with. They worked with me to elicit the aspects of my experience that would shine on the ECQs. This was not a cookie-cutter process, but very personalized to my experience and expertise. And it resulted in a positive outcome – I was appointed to the SES!

Sharon B. A., Ph.D.

I was selected for the SES position and my ECQs were submitted to OPM with minimal change. My personnel office informed me they were the best they had ever seen and should be the “example” for the future submissions. It all started with you-thanks again for all your assistance.

Steve W., SES, Office of the Inspector General, Department of Defense

I want to let you know that I just got the word that my ECQs were certified by OPM. I truly thank you for all your support and expert assistance.
