Currently Estimated Potential
Cross-government Public Service Division
An assessment of the largest job size an officer is considered capable of handling in future, which may change as the officer develops and demonstrates capabilities.
Also known as: Current Estimated Potential
Context: CEP is an assessment of future job capacity, not a fixed lifetime ceiling or a guarantee of promotion. PSD material has used both “Currently” and “Current”; the definition text uses “Currently Estimated Potential”.
