4 COMMUNICATION-COMPUT YTEM PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION AFC 3C3X1 CARE FIELD EDUCATION AND ING PLAN PART I Preface 1. The changing Command, Control, Communications, and Computer (C4) and Expeditionary Aerospace Forces environments require vision, preparation, and attention to ensure people have the right skills and tools to deliver the C4 capabilities and the support required by the war fighter in meeting the Air Force mission of today and the vision of the future. Declining resources, expanding diversity of mission, and ever-changing technologies in the Air Force are impacting the availability of our most valuable resource-- people. These factors will continue to exist in the future, make it essential for the work force to be effectively and efficiently trained to perform duties within each skill level of an Air Force pecialty (AF). To meet the challenges of tomorrow, the Air Force must place a greater emphasis on career field training. This Communications-Computer ystems Planning and Implementation Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive core training document that identifies life-cycle training/education requirements, support resources, and minimum core task requirements for the 3C3X1 specialty. The plan is a "training road map" for the career field. It provides personnel a clear career path to success and makes career field training identifiable and measurable. 2. The CFETP documents the career field training program and consists of two parts. Management uses both parts to plan, manage, and control training within the career field Part I, ection A provides the information necessary for overall management of training in the career field. It contains administrative details and explains the purpose and use of the CFETP. ection B provides a description of the specialty, suggests career field progression, provides career field information, documents training decisions, defines each skill level, and identifies MAJCOM continuation training options. ection C specifies qualification requirements for upgrade/progression in each subsequent skill level in the career field and provides a complete list of continuation training for the specialty. It also identifies sources of training other than those provided by Air Education and Training Command (AETC). ection D identifies known resource constraints. ection E identifies transition training requirements Part II, ection A identifies the pecialty Training tandard (T) and includes duties, tasks, technical references, Air Education and Training Command (AETC) conducted training, core tasks, and correspondence course requirements. ection B contains the course objective list/training standard supervisors use to determine if airmen satisfied training requirements. ection C contains support material relevant across the specialty including Air Force Job Qualification tandards/air Force Qualification Training Packages (AFJQ/AFQTP). ection D lists all mandatory Air Force in-residence, field, Air Force Institute for Advanced Distributed Learning (AFIADL), and exportable courses used to support training for this specialty. ection E is used to identify MAJCOM unique requirements. upervisors and trainers at the unit level use Part I, ection C, and Part II of the CFETP to identify, plan, and conduct unit level training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan. 3. Use of the guidance provided in this CFETP provides the foundation for effective and efficient training for individuals in this career field at the appropriate points in their careers. This plan enables the Air Force to train today's work force for tomorrow's missions. 1

These task are only for those career fields that still need them applied to their schoolhouse tasks. 5

9 ection A - General Information 1. Purpose of the CFETP. This CFETP provides the information necessary for career field managers, training management, supervisors, and trainers to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective and efficient career field training program. The plan outlines the training that individuals in AFC 3C3X1 should receive in order to develop and progress throughout their careers. For purpose of this plan, training is divided into: initial skills, upgrade, qualification, and continuation training. Initial skills training is the AF specific training an individual receives upon entering into the AFC. This training is provided by the 336 Training quadron (TR) at Keesler AFB, M. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory courses, task qualification requirements, and Career Development () completion required for award of the 5-, 7-, or 9-skill level. 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 training required to do the job. Continuation training is additional training provided to 3-, 5-, 7-, and 9-level personnel to increase their skills and knowledge beyond the minimum required for upgrade. The CFETP has several purposes, some of which are: 1.1. erves as a management tool to plan, develop, manage, and conduct a career field training program. Also, ensures that established training is provided at the appropriate point in an individual's career Identifies task and knowledge training requirements for each skill level in the specialty and recommends training throughout each phase of an individual's career Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of the training, and provides the training medium Identifies major resource constraints that impact implementation of the desired career field training program. 2. Use of the CFETP. The CFETP is maintained by the 3CXXX Air Force Career Field Manager (AFCFM), AF/XCID. MAJCOM Functional Managers and AETC review the plan annually to ensure currency and accuracy and forward recommended changes to the AFCFM. Using the list of courses in Part II, they determine whether duplicate training exists and take steps to eliminate/prevent duplicate efforts. Career field training managers at all levels use the plan to ensure a comprehensive and cohesive training program is available for each individual in the career ladder AETC training personnel develop/revise formal resident and exportable training based upon requirements established by the users and documented in the T. They also develop procurement and acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training MAJCOM Functional Managers ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial skill and upgrade requirements. They also identify the needed AFJQs/AFQTPs to document unique upgrade and continuation training requirements. Requirements are satisfied through OJT, resident training, contract training, or exportable courseware/courses. MAJCOM developed training to support this AFC must be included in this plan TR Qualification Training Flight (Q-Flight) personnel develop AFJQs/AFQTPs based on requests submitted by the MAJCOMs and according to the priorities assigned by the Communications- Computer ystems Training Advisory Group (CTAG) Unit level training managers and supervisors manage and control progression through the career field by ensuring individuals complete the mandatory training requirements for upgrade specified in this plan and supplemented by their MAJCOM. The list of courses in Part II is used as a reference for planning continuation or career enhancement training. 6

12 5. kill/career Progression. Adequate training and timely progression from the apprentice to superintendent skill levels play an important role in the Air Force's ability to accomplish its mission. It is essential that everyone involved in training do their part to plan, manage, and conduct an effective training program. The following table and the 3C3X1 Education and Training Path table define the training required during an individual's career and when the training should be received. Apprentice (3-Level) Training Upon completion of initial skills training a trainee will work with a trainer to enhance their knowledge and skills. Utilize s, AFJQs/AFQTPs, and other exportable courses to progress in the field. Once task certified, a trainee may perform the task unsupervised. Journeyman (5-Level) Training Enter into continuation training to broaden experience base. Five-levels may be assigned job positions such as team leader and shift supervisor. Attend the Airman Leadership chool (AL) after serving 48 months in the Air Force or selection to rank of gt (active duty only). In-residence or correspondence course is required for Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve Command (ANG/AFRC) personnel. Use s and other references identified by the AFCFM to prepare for Weighted Airman Performance ystems (WAP) testing. hould continue pursuing a Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) degree. Craftsman (7-Level) Training A seven-level can expect to fill various supervisory and management positions such as shift leader, team chief, supervisor, or task certifier. even-levels should take courses or obtain added knowledge on management of resources\personnel and attend the 7-level resident course. Encouraged continuing academic education through CCAF and higher degree programs. Attend the Noncommissioned Officer Academy (NCOA). In-residence or correspondence course is required for ANG/AFRC personnel. uperintendent (9-Level) Training A nine-level can be expected to fill positions such as flight chief, superintendents, and various staff positions. hould pursue increased knowledge for budget, manpower, resources, and personnel management. Recommend they pursue additional education and completion of courses outside of their AF. Chief Enlisted Manager (CEM) Training Must be selected for CMgt and possess qualifications in a feeder specialty (3C090, 3C191, 3C192, 3C291, or 3C391). CEMs work in a variety of similar jobs and functional areas where general managerial and supervisory abilities can be most effectively used and challenged. Resident graduation of the UAF enior NCO Academy (NCOA) is a prerequisite for CMgt sewon (active duty only). In-residence or correspondence course required for ANG/AFRC personnel. Resident graduation of the Chief Master ergeant Leadership (CLC). 9

13 6. Training Decisions. The CFETP was developed to encapsulate an entire spectrum of training requirements for the Communications-Computer ystems Planning and Implementation career field, using a building block approach (simple to complex). Included in this spectrum was the strategy of when, where, and how to meet the training requirements. The strategy must be apparent and affordable to reduce duplication of training and eliminate a disjointed approach to training. The following training decisions were made by members of the November 2005 Utilization and Training Workshop (U&TW) The forum conducted a comprehensive review of the CFETP. There were major changes to the CFETP with minor impact to the apprentice course. Areas were identified that could possibly be saving impacts if days are required to be deleted from the course. These areas will be reviewed and discussed at a future date Under the direction of the CFM, the forum standardized sections one through eleven of the T. These standardized common volume tasks are the same for all 3C AFCs. As a result of the common volume, a common volume of s will apply to all 3C AFCs A listing of mandatory and prerequisite computer base training (CBT) products was consolidated and inserted into 5- and 7- level upgrade training. A complete listing of specific CBT s and skill level completion requirement can be located in ection D Training Index, Exportable s Proficiency Training. This training is job qualification for an assigned duty position. Additional qualification training becomes necessary when personnel transfer to another duty position, the unit mission changes, a new personnel program comes on board, or any time changes in techniques or procedures occur. The 81 TR/TQ (Q-Flight) develops AFJQs/AFQTPs to support tasks relating to communications-electronics and communications-computer systems, functions, and duties. Completion of AFJQs/AFQTPs is mandatory by duty position for personnel in upgrade or qualification training. Personnel assigned to a Network Control Center (NCC) performing Network Management duties would use the XXXXX-200C series AFJQ. 7. Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) Academic Programs. Enrollment in CCAF occurs upon completion of basic military training. CCAF provides the opportunity for all enlisted members to obtain an Associate in Applied cience degree. In order to be awarded the degree it must be completed before the student separates from the Air Force, retires, or is commissioned as an officer. In addition to its associates degree program, CCAF offers the following: 7.1. Occupational Instructor Certification. The College offers the Occupational Instructor Certification to instructors teaching full time in a CCAF affiliated school. To qualify, instructors must complete a 3 semester hour Instructor Methodology course, a 12 semester hour Teaching Internship, have two years teaching experience from date of Teaching Internship completion, hold an associate or higher degree, and be recommended by their commander/commandant The Information ystems Technology (0IYY) program applies to the 3C3X1 career field Degree Requirements: Individuals must hold the 5-skill level at the time of program completion. emester hours Technical Education Leadership, Management, and Military tudies... 6 Physical Education... 4 General Education
