| 3 | +1. **VQS Program.** The VetsWhoCode Qualification Standard (VQS) program is a qualification |
| 4 | +system of basic Training Performance Objectives (TPO) designed to establish the minimum level of |
| 5 | +competency required for a member to successfully perform in their grade. This VQS is a compilation of |
| 6 | +the minimum knowledge and skills that an individual must demonstrate in order to qualify for |
| 7 | +advancement. The objective of VQS is to standardize and facilitate these qualifications. |
| 8 | +1. **CONTENTS.** The VQS is divided into 12 sections. Each section is divided into subsections (issues list). The issues list can be found under the `Issues` tab of this Github Repository. Each issue is broken up into 3 sections: |
| 9 | + 1. TPO: Each TPO is formatted using the Army's formula for training tasks to standard as in the following: |
| 10 | + 1. **Task:** A clearly defined and measurable activity accomplished by individuals. Tasks are specific activities that contribute to the accomplishment of encompassing requirements. Different types of Tasks are: |
| 11 | + 1. **DEMONSTRATE.** Given a scenario members must physically demonstrate from memory and with references in the presence of a VQS qualifier the subject performance factor. |
| 12 | + 1. **USE.** Members must demonstrate through a Github Pull Request, with the aid of appropriate references, the ability to complete standards using a specified tool. |
| 13 | + 1. **Conditions:** The environment and boilerplate needed to perform the task. |
| 14 | + 1. **Standard:** A list of the minimum acceptable proficiencies required in the performance of the training task under a specific set of conditions. |
| 15 | + 1. Notes: This section gives hints/resources that could help to complete the task or go deeper. However, it is not required to incorporate notes into your project. |
| 16 | + 1. Resources: A list of resources that contain all prerequisite knowledge to accomplish the TPO. |
| 17 | +1. **VQS QUALIFIERS.** The VQS Qualifier is designated in writing by the Executive Director to sign off |
| 18 | +individual VQS line items. Qualifiers will normally be field professionals, as a minimum, must have |
| 19 | +completed the VQS they are authorized to sign off. The names of designated Qualifiers can be found on |
| 20 | +the VQS Progress Chart or Command Qualifiers List. |
| 21 | +1. **TRAINEE.** You must demonstrate your knowledge to a designated VQS qualifier. You have one year |
| 22 | +from the date of your first signature to complete this VQS. Failure to complete VQS within the one year |
| 23 | +time limit will result in invalidation of those signatures that go beyond the time limit or in the invalidation of |
| 24 | +the entire VQS. The requirements of this VQS may be satisfied through formal training or self-instruction. |
| 25 | +1. **FINAL INTERVIEW.** To successfully complete this course you must have a final interview with a VQS qualifier. The final interview will be conducted in the form of a mock job interview and will focus solely on the content covered in the course. Candidates should expect to demonstrate their understanding of concepts and skills through practical application and problem-solving scenarios. |

| 27 | +If you have any questions or are unable to locate references, contact your mentor or qualifier. Good |
| 28 | +Luck! |
