The Central Verification System (CVS) contains information on background investigations, credentialing determinations, suitability determinations, and security clearances. This course is designed for individuals who are new to using CVS and whose duties may include, but are not limited to, making reciprocity determinations and sharing/entering data through CVS in support of reciprocity. This class will also cover other functions found in CVS such as how to submit Special Agreement Checks via CVS, view current items and statuses in open or closed cases submitted by your specific Security Office, and how to enter adjudications, clearances, and HSPD-12 records. Note this will only cover how to enter them in the system, not review how or why the adjudicative decision was made.
Upon completion of the course, attendees will be able to:
- State the purpose of the CVS
