Preface

1. This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive core training document that identifies life-cycle education and training requirements; training support resources; and minimum core task requirements for a specialty. The CFETP aims to give personnel a clear path and instill a sense of industry in career field training.

Note: Civilians occupying associated positions use Part 2 to support duty position qualification training.

2. The CFETP consists of two parts. Supervisors plan, manage, and control training within the specialty using both parts of the plan.

2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains how everyone will use the plan. Section B identifies career progression information, duties and responsibilities, training decisions, career field path and Community College of the Air Force degree requirements. Section C provides a general sense of each skill level with specific specialty knowledge and skills and mandatory requirements for entry, award, and retention of each skill level. Section D Indicates resource constraints such as funds, manpower, equipment, and facilities. Section E identifies transition training plans for the 2T2X1 career field.

2.2. Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standard (STS) and includes duties, tasks, technical references to support training, Air Education and Training Command (AETC) conducted training, wartime tasks, core tasks, and correspondence course requirements; Section B, the Course Objective List, is currently reserved. Section C identifies available training materials such as Air Transportation Task Training Guides (TTGs) which were developed to support upgrade and proficiency training. These packages are located on the following website:

https://intelshare.intelink.gov/sites/A4T/A4TS/Training/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Qualification%20Training%20Pa ckages%20QTPs%20%20Task%20Trainin/Forms/AllItems.aspx Section D has a training course index supervisors can refer to for available support training. This area lists both mandatory and optional courses; Section E identifies MAJCOM unique training requirements supervisors can use to determine additional qualification training.

3. Using this CFETP as a guide will ensure individuals in this specialty receive effective and efficient training at the appropriate point in their career. This plan enables us to train today's work force for tomorrow's jobs. At unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan.

1. Purpose. This CFETP provides information necessary for the AFCFM, MAJCOM functional managers (MFMs), commanders, training managers, supervisors and trainers to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective career field training program. This plan outlines the training that individuals in this AFS should receive in order to develop and progress throughout their career. This plan identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced, and proficiency training. Initial skills training is the AFS specific training an individual receives upon entry into the Air Force or upon retraining into this specialty for award of the 3-skill level. Normally, this training is conducted by AETC at one of the technical training centers. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory courses, task qualification requirements, and correspondence course completion requirements for award of the 3-, 5-, 7-, 9-skill levels.

Qualification training is actual hands-on task performance training designed to qualify an airman in a specific duty position. This training program occurs both during and after the upgrade training process. It is designed to provide the performance skills/knowledge required to do the job. Advanced training is formal specialty training used for selected Airmen. The CFETP has several purposes, to include:

1.1. Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct, and evaluate a career field-training program. Also, it is used to help supervisors identify training at the appropriate point in an individual's career.

1.2. Identifies task and subject knowledge training requirements for each skill level in the specialty and recommends education/training throughout each phase of an individual’s career.

1.3. Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training, and the training delivery method.

1.4. Identifies major resource constraints that impact full implementation of the desired career field training process.

2. Uses. The plan will be used by MFMs and supervisors at all levels to ensure comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the specialty.

2.1. AETC, 423 MTS (EC), and the TPC training personnel will develop/revise formal resident, non-resident, field and exportable training based on requirements established by the users and documented in Part II of the CFETP.

They will also work with the AFCFM to develop acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training.

2.2. MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and proficiency requirements. Identified requirements can be satisfied by OJT, resident training, contract training, or exportable courses. MAJCOM-developed training to support this AFSC must be identified for inclusion into the plan.

2.3. Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The lists of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training. Active training records must be maintained for SMSgts and below.

3. Coordination and Approval. The AFCFM is the approving official and waiver authority for any changes to, and deviations from, this CFETP. The AFCFM will initiate an annual review of this document to ensure currency and accuracy. MAJCOM representatives and AETC training personnel will identify and coordinate on the career field training requirements. Using the list of courses in Part II will mitigate duplicate training.

Functional, Career Broadening, Developmental Special Duty and Leadership Paths (Enlisted)

6. Career Development Path. The 2T2X1 Career Development Path depicts the timeline an Airman needs to demonstrate competency to perform duties within the Air Transportation career field, while illustrating recommended AFSC-specific training for personal development. The graph serves as a “roadmap” to provide consistency in how we rotate our Airman. For example, an Airman should be competent in “Foundational Competencies” before progressing to Command, Control and Evaluation (C2E) Competencies (i.e. proficient in passenger and cargo ops before working ATOC). Following this roadmap ensures consistency, more proficient Airman serving in C2E and management sections, and coincides with our deployment requirements. Leadership must make every effort to rotate Airman throughout the available foundational competencies before moving them to C2E competencies and eventually management positions.

Section D – Task Qualification Training (TQT)

1. Task Qualification Training (TQT). Training and certification of TQT will be accomplished IAW DAFI 10-401, Air Force Operations Planning and Execution, DAFI 10-2501, Air Force Emergency Management (EM) Program, DAFI 36-2670, Total Force Development, and AEF Online Tier 2A, Expeditionary Skills (ES) Proficiency Training/Tier 2B, Home Station Pre-Deployment Training.

1.1. Task standardization is key to TQT, ensuring readiness while in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Environment. All Air Transportation personnel will know the exact UTC they are postured against. Knowing this information, supervisors/trainers will utilize Attachment 3 of this CFETP to ensure trainees are proficient in the tasks corresponding to their assigned UTC and skill level as a minimum. In addition, members must also be trained and qualified to perform each associated task in a contested environment, by demonstrating proficiency in MOPP 4.

1.2. Prerequisites. CBRN Defense Awareness Course (WBT) and initial CBRN Defense Survival Course (Hands-on).

1.3. TQT Training Frequency. Due to limited equipment/training capabilities, CBRN TQT will be conducted IAW applicable host wing guidance and documented in accordance with unit directives, i.e.

G081, myTraining, Patriot Excalibur (PEX), or equivalent approved system. When possible, TQT will be conducted in conjunction with wing/base exercises. CBRN TQT must include career field specific duties performed within air terminal work centers and during vehicle operations. Individuals must be current in CBRN Defense Awareness/Survival at the time of departure to TDY/Deployment locations and will be considered current for the duration of the assignment.

1.3.1. Exercises. Force Modernization Trainers (FMTs) will ensure training is provided for individuals participating in exercises where operating in CBRN environment will be expected and not falling under the criteria outlined above.

1.4. Full Credit Requirements. Individuals successfully complete the demonstrated-performance objective.

Section E - Resource Constraints

1. Purpose. This section identifies known resource constraints which preclude optimal/desired training from being developed or conducted, including information such as cost and manpower. Narrative explanations of each resource constraint and an impact statement describing what effect each constraint has on training are included. Also included in this section are actions required, office of primary responsibility, and target completion dates. Resource constraints will be, as a minimum, reviewed and updated annually.

1.1. Three-Level Training:

1.1.1. Constraints. None.

1.2. Five-Level Training:

1.2.1. Constraints. In many cases, ARC personnel are not co-located with active flight line operations or active-duty Aerial Port Squadrons, limiting access and ability for hands-on training. ARC personnel are heavily reliant on the availability of Annual Tour and Seasonal Training programs to achieve the necessary knowledge and skillsets required for 5-level upgrade. Additionally, access to CCMD and other MAJCOM funded exercises provides ideal training environments for members gaining and exercising new core task capabilities.

1.3. Seven-Level Training:

1.3.1. Constraints. None

Section A - Specialty Training Standard (STS)

1. Implementation. This Specialty Training Standard is used for technical training provided by AETC for classes beginning (7 April 2021) and graduating (5 May 2021).

2. Purpose. As prescribed in AFI 36-2670 and this STS:

2.1. Column 1 lists the most common tasks, knowledge, and technical references (TR) necessary for airman to perform duties in the 3-, 5-, 7-, and 9-skill level of the Air Transportation ladder of the Transportation Career Field. During times when asked to accelerate to wartime surge, apprentice course will be taught 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.

2.2. Column 2 identifies Core Tasks and specialty-wide training. The “*” is placed in the column corresponding to the 3-, 5-, 7-, 9- skill level to identify specialty-wide training requirements for that level.

These tasks and knowledge items are based on an analysis of the duties and responsibilities contained in the Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD), The Official Guide to the Air Force Enlisted Classification Codes. Core Task STS line items are mandatory and must be completed before the 5-, 7-, or 9- skill level can be awarded.

2.3. Column 3 provides certification for on-the-job training and is used to record completion of tasks and knowledge training requirements. If available, supervisors and trainers should use the automated training management systems to document technician qualifications. Task certification must show a start and completion date and include both trainer and trainee initials. Note: There are currently no tasks in the Air Transportation career field requiring third party certification.

2.4. Column 4 identifies the proficiency to be demonstrated on the job by the formal AETC school graduate as a result of training on the task/knowledge and the career knowledge provided by the correspondence course.

2.5. Attachment 1 shows the qualitative requirements and the proficiency code key used to indicate the level of training and knowledge provided by resident training, task training guides (TTGs) and career development course (when applicable).

2.6. The STS becomes a job qualification standard (JQS) for on-the-job training when automated or placed in AF Form 623, Individual Training Record. Document and certify completion of training IAW AFI 36-2670, Total Force Development. Active training records must be maintained for SMSgts and below. Tasks are trained and qualified to the “go/no go” level.
