October 2014 UNDERGRADUATE CYBERSPACE TRAINING (phase 1)
1. Implementation of training in support of this CTS is with class beginning 2015______ and graduating 2015______.
2. Purpose. This course training standard:
a. Establishes the training requirements using tasks, knowledge and training proficiency levels for training for course E3OQR17D1 001B, Undergraduate Cyberspace Training (phase 1).
b. Provides the basis for the development of more detailed training materials, training objectives, and the training evaluation instruments for the course.
3. Course Description. This group paced in-resident course provides initial skills training to selected Air Force officers with AFSC 17DX, civilian equivalents, and international officers trained under the provisions of the Air Force Security Assistance Program in the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to perform duties across the spectrum of the cyberspace domain. The scope of this course consists of an introduction to DoD Cyber Fundamentals, Cyber Organizations and Missions, Cyber Career Forces, Mission Assurance, Continuity of Operations (COOP), Information Technology Systems, Cyber Related Technologies, Transmission Systems, Deployed Operations, Certification and Accreditation, Networking Fundamentals, Windows Operating Systems, nix Operating Systems, Mobile Operating Systems, Virtual Environments, Programming Concepts and Scripting, and Project Management.
4. Qualitative Requirements. Attachment 1 contains the tasks, knowledge, and training proficiency levels referenced in paragraph 2. Foreign Disclosure: A review of this course was conducted and there is no material that would prohibit international officers from attending.
5. Recommendations. Comments and recommendations are invited concerning quality of AETC training. Reference this CTS and identify the specific area of concern (paragraph, training standard element, etc.) to 81 TRG/TGET, 825 Hercules Street, Suite 114, Keesler AFB, MS 39534-2037.

EXPLANATIONS
* A task knowledge scale value may be used alone or with a task performance scale value to define a level of knowledge for a specific task. (Examples: b and 1b) A subject knowledge scale value is used alone to define a level of knowledge for a subject not directly related to any specific task, ** or for a subject common to several tasks.
- This mark is used alone instead of a scale value to show that no proficiency training is provided in the course.
X This mark is used alone in course columns to show that training is required but not given due to limitations in resources.
