Which of the following statements about the FRP cycle is true?

• A. It uses a 27-month cycle
• B. It uses a 12-month cycle
• C. It uses a 24-month cycle
• D. There is no fixed cycle

Answer: (A)

In this concept, the FRP operates on a fixed, longer-than-a-year cycle. That extended, locked-in rhythm gives enough time for the full sequence of actions—initial assessment, targeted development actions, milestone reviews, and the final evaluation—to unfold within one continuous cycle. It also makes planning for training, assignments, and promotions predictable and coordinated.

If the cycle were only a year, there wouldn’t be enough time to complete all required steps without rushing some of them. If there were no fixed cycle at all, planning and resource allocation would become unreliable and inconsistent. For those reasons, the statement describing a longer fixed cycle is the true one.
