This program will assist you to understand the work level standards, capability requirements and behavioural expectations at the APS 6 level. The program focuses on the work level expectations and capability requirements at the APS 6 level detailed in the APS Work Level Standards (WLS) and the APS Integrated Leadership System (ILS). To clarify the step-up in expectations, the program compares the APS 6 work levels and capability requirements to the APS 5 level.

This learning experience has been provided by a third party in consultation with the APS Academy.

Participant benefits

  • A detailed understanding of what it takes to be an APS 6 in the APS, including the required “step-ups” from APS 5.
  • Familiarity with the WLS and how they help differentiate work at APS 5 and APS 6 levels.
  • A strong knowledge of ILS and its use in career development.
  • An action plan to address some of the issues raised and to develop greater understanding and capability to undertake the APS 6 role.

Suitable for

APS 5 - APS 6

Category and User Level

This learning experience aligns with the APS People Craft at the Foundation level.

Considerations

There is a pre-work component that is required to be completed prior to the commencement of the program.

Price

$1225 per attendee. Payment by credit card.
