Cyber Workforce Qualification

DoD 8140 requirement that personnel in cyber work roles demonstrate foundational and residential qualification at a proficiency level.

Definition

Foundational qualification can be met through approved education, training, or personnel certifications listed for the work role and proficiency level. Residential qualification includes on-the-job qualification and environment-specific training. Personnel must maintain qualification through continuous professional development, typically 20 hours annually unless certification maintenance applies.

Example

A system administrator meets foundational qualification with Security+ and completes command-specific training.

Exam tip

Proficiency levels are basic, intermediate, and advanced.
