Legal Question in Employment Law in District of Columbia

Federal Employment

I have worked for a federal agency in a position that requires a training course, but due to a medical condition that developed after I took the position I have not been able to take that course. Yet, during the pass year and a half I have worked the position in full capacity meeting every job duty that falls under the job description. Can I legally be discharged (fired) from the job given that I have not been able to attend the required course but at the same time have done the job for the pass year and a half meeting all other established requirements?

Re: Federal Employment

Assuming that you're not referring to being discharged from employment with the federal government itself, but, rather a particular job for which, apparently, you have not been able to fullfill the training criteria which one or more of your supervisors apparently consider necessary to perform this particular job, the answer is very likely that, yes, you can be removed from this particular job

if you have not taken the particular training course which is required even if your performance in the position has met all of the other performance standards which are required of the position.
