RMC No. 101-2019: Circularizes the revised policies on training/learning and development requirements for Division Chief and Executive/Managerial positions in government

Key points

1. 5-year recency dropped. CSC Resolution No. 1900773, promulgated July 11, 2019, dispenses with the 5-year recency requirement. It amends Sections 66 to 70 of the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions, as amended.
2. Required training hours. Division Chief and comparable positions need 40 hours of supervisory/management training. Second-level Executive/Managerial positions need 120 hours.
3. Positions involving practice of profession. For second-level positions with duties involving practice of profession, relevant continuing education or trainings may count for up to 40 hours of technical training. The remaining 80 hours must be management training.
4. Highly specialized positions. For highly specialized second-level positions, the 120 hours may include up to 80 hours of technical training and at least 40 hours of management training.
5. No CSC approval needed. Agencies adopt Sections 68 and 69 of the 2017 Omnibus Rules for these positions without needing Civil Service Commission approval.
