4 Preface OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AFSC 3E6X1 CFETP 1. This CFETP is a comprehensive education and training document identifying life-cycle education and training requirements, training support resources, and minimum requirements for an Air Force Specialty (AFS). The CFETP will provide personnel a clear career path to success, instill rigor in all aspects of career field training, and serve as the Contract for Training between Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and a career field. Note: Civilians occupying associated positions will use Part II as a guide to support duty position qualification training. 2. The CFETP consists of two parts. Supervisors at all levels plan, manage, and control training within their specialty using both parts of the plan Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains the overall use of the plan; Section B identifies career-field progression information, duties and responsibilities, training decisions, and career field path; Section C associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, experience, training, and other); Section D indicates resource constraints. Some examples are funds, manpower, equipment, and facilities. Section E identifies transition training guide requirements for Staff Sergeant (SSgt) through Master Sergeant (MSgt) Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the STS to include duties, tasks, and technical references to support training, AETC conducted training, wartime course and core task, and correspondence course requirements. Section B contains the course objective list and training standards supervisors will use to determine if Airmen satisfied training requirements. Section C identifies available support materials. An example is a Qualification Training Package (QTP) which may be developed to support proficiency training. Section D identifies a training course index that supervisors can use to determine resources available to support training. Included in the section are both mandatory and optional courses, as well as exportable courseware. Section E identifies MAJCOM-unique training requirements that supervisors can use to determine additional training required for the associated qualification needs. At unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan. Section F identifies HST references and course material required for this specialty in support of contingency/wartime training. 3. Using guidance provided in the CFETP will ensure individuals in this specialty receive effective and efficient training at the appropriate points in their career. This plan will enable us to train today s workforce for tomorrow s jobs. PART I: Section A General Information 4. Purpose of the CFETP. This CFETP provides information necessary for the Air Force Career Field Manager (AFCFM), MAJCOM Functional Managers (MFM), commanders, training managers, supervisors and trainers, to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective and efficient career field training program. This plan outlines the training individuals require in this AFS in order to develop and progress throughout their career. This plan identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced, and proficiency training and serves as the contract between AETC and a functional community. Initial skills training is the AFS specific training an individual receives upon entry into the Air Force or upon 4

5 retraining into a 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-, and 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 and knowledge required to do the job. Advanced training is a formal course which provides individuals who are qualified in one or more positions of their AFS with additional skill/knowledge to enhance their expertise in the career field. Training is for selected career airmen at the advanced level of the AFS. Proficiency training is additional training, either in-residence or exportable advanced training courses, or on-the-job (OJT) training provided to personnel to increase their skills and knowledge beyond the minimum required for upgrade. The CFETP has several purposes. These purposes are: 4.1. 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 Identifies task and knowledge training requirements for each skill level in the specialty and recommends education and training throughout each phase of an individual s career Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training, and training delivery methods Identifies major resource constraints that impact full implementation of the desired career field training process. 5. Uses of the CFETP. 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 AETC training personnel will develop or revise formal resident, nonresident, 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, Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency Force Development (HQ AFCESA/CEOM) to develop acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training MFMs will ensure all training programs at the MAJCOM level complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and proficiency requirements. OJT, resident training, contract training, Air Force Qualification Training Package assessments, or exportable courses can satisfy identified requirements. MAJCOM developed training to support this AFS must be identified for inclusion into the plan Unit Training Managers (UTMs) and supervisors must ensure each individual completes the mandatory training requirements (including MAJCOM supplemental requirements) for the upgrade training specified in the training plan Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The list of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training. 6. Coordination and Approval of the CFETP. The AFCFM is the approval authority for the CFETP. MAJCOM representatives and AETC personnel will identify and coordinate on the career field training requirements. The AFCFM will initiate an annual review of this document to ensure currency and accuracy. Using the list of courses in Part II, they will eliminate duplicate training. 5

Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the Operations Management career field. The spectrum includes a strategy for 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. Members of the Specialty Training Requirements Team (STRT) held on April 2009 at Sheppard AFB, TX reviewed all skill level training and requirements. The following training decisions were made: 9.1. Initial Skills Training. The 3-level apprentice course was reviewed for content. Additions, deletions, and modifications were made to the course using Mission Ready Airman (MRA) as the guiding criteria. Wartime training tasks were identified and validated Five Level Upgrade Training Requirements. Reviewed existing 5-level CDC requirements to ensure additions and changes to the 5-level column in the STS were made to keep information current Seven Level Upgrade Training Requirements. Additional 7-level skill requirements were incorporated into the CFETP to ensure adequate career progression and training was met. The result of this review was that a supplemental course was required to bridge the gap in training after initial skills training. 9

10 9.4. Proficiency Training. Any additional knowledge and skill requirements that were not taught through initial skills or upgrade training are assigned as continuation training. The purpose of continuation training is to provide training exceeding minimum upgrade training requirements with emphasis on present and future duty positions. MAJCOMs must develop a continuation training program that ensures personnel in the Operations Management career field receive the necessary training at the appropriate point in their career. The training program will identify both mandatory and optional training requirements Supplemental Training. Supplemental training when applicable, SMEs review formal resident supplemental training course requirements for technical accuracy and identify training that is no longer required. Based on MAJCOM input, AETC training personnel develop and provide Course Training Standards (CTS) documents to list the knowledge and skills required in a particular area of the AFS. 10. Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). Enrollment in CCAF occurs upon award of primary AFSC. CCAF which is located at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, provides the opportunity to obtain an Associate of Applied Sciences Degree. In addition to its associate degree program, CCAF offers the following: Occupational Instructor Certification. The instructor must: be a full-time instructor teaching a CCAF course at an affiliated school at the time of nomination be assigned to a CCAF course(s) in CCAF STARS-FD have at least 2 years teaching experience as a CCAF instructor from the DAID have teaching experience documented either on the CCAF Occupational Instructor Certification Teaching Experience Log, Version 2 or in the STARS-FD CCAF Occupational Instructor Certification Teaching Experience Log have at least 2,000 hours of documented practical experience teaching a CCAF course(s) hold an associate or higher-level degree from an accredited institution have completed a 12-semester-hour CCAF Instructor Teaching Internship have completed at least 3-semester-hours of CCAF-approved instructor methodology coursework be recommended by the school commander, commandant or PME flight chief Trade Skill Certification. When a CCAF student separates or retires, a trade skill certification is awarded for the primary occupational specialty. The College uses a competency based assessment process for trade skill certification at one of four proficiency levels: Apprentice, Journeyman, Craftsman (Supervisor), or Master Craftsman (Manager). All are transcribed on the CCAF transcript Professional Manager Certification (PMC). A professional credential awarded by CCAF that formally recognizes an individual s advanced level of education and experience in leadership and management, as well as professional accomplishments. The program provides a structured professional development track that supplements Enlisted Professional Military Education (EPME) and Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) Air University Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU-ABC). The Air Universities ABC program directs Airmen with an associate in applied science degrees from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) to a collection of accredited military friendly colleges and universities to consider when completing a four-year degree.

15 12.2. CE Occupational Badge. The CE occupational badge reflects a great history and tradition. By wearing it, you will be recognized by your fellow Airmen as having achieved an expected level of competence. The multitude of engineers before you established this expectation through excellent service in both peace and war. Eligibility criteria for award and wear of AF occupational badges can be found in AFI , Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel. Master Worn as a master sergeant or above with 5 years in the specialty from award of the 7-skill level Basic Worn upon completion of technical school Senior Worn after award of the 7-skill level CE Badge Heraldry The gear wheel and compass have historically been used to represent the engineering profession, in both the military and civilian sector. The gear represents the essence of engineering: applying scientific principles and technology to practical ends. To Air Force engineers, the gear symbolizes an element (representing the built environment) that meshes with other environments (weapon systems and trained personnel) to enable the Air Force to perform its mission. The compass is a precision tool historically used by engineers in designing and constructing facilities and equipment. The gear and compass together symbolize all the diverse specialties within Air Force Civil Engineer. Finally, the wings help to portray the fundamental linkage between the engineering and aviation components; and that the built environment is the foundation supporting Air Force mission and people. 15

23 PART II Section A Specialty Training Standard 1. Implementation. This STS will be used for technical training provided by AETC for the 3-level course with classes beginning 8 December 2010 and graduating on or after 15 February Purpose. As prescribed in AFI , Air Force Training Program, and the Air Force Civil Engineer Career Field Manager has made it mandatory for all civil engineers regardless of duty assignment to use the Air Force Training Record (AFTR) application located on the AFCESA Civil Engineer Virtual Learning Center (CE-VLC) to document upgrade and qualification training Lists in Column 1 (Tasks, Knowledge, and Technical Reference[TR]) the most common tasks, knowledge, and supporting TRs necessary for Airmen to perform duties in the 3-, 5-, and 7-skill level Lists in Column 2 (Core Tasks) identifies core tasks (specialty-wide training requirements) by an asterisk () in the appropriate skill level sub-column. As a minimum, trainees must complete all core, critical, and diamond tasks for skill level upgrade Tasks identified by a diamond ( ) are considered contingency/war tasks and are critical to the career field. Equipment shortfalls at most locations have created problems with the actual hands-on certification of these tasks. In instances where required equipment is not available for instruction, completion of the corresponding task web-based AFQTP or passing the standalone AFQTP assessment (if developed) is all that is required for upgrade training Provides certification for OJT. Column 3 is used to record completion of tasks and knowledge training requirements. Use AFTR to document technician qualifications. Task certification of core, critical, and diamond tasks require a training completion date and initials of the trainee, trainer, and certifier. All non-core tasks require training completion date and initials of the trainee and trainer only Shows formal training and correspondence course requirements. Column 4 shows the proficiency to be demonstrated on the job by the graduate as a result of training on the task, knowledge, and the career knowledge provided by formal courses, CDCs, ADL, and AFQTPs Identifies qualitative requirements. Attachment 1 contains the proficiency code key used to indicate the level of training and knowledge provided by ADL, resident training, and career development courses Becomes a JQS for OJT training when placed in AFTR and used according to AFI For OJT, the tasks in Column 1 are trained and qualified to the go/no go level. Go means the individual can perform the task without assistance and meets local requirements for accuracy, timeliness, and correct use of procedures. AFQTPs, when available, will be used to identify Air Force standardized procedures. When used as a JQS, the following documentation applies: Duty position requirements will be developed and identified by the supervisor along with the Unit Training Manger (UTM) and loaded in AFTR. Completion of core, critical, and diamond tasks are mandatory for all duty positions. Ensure the correct duty position title is listed under Profile 1 section of trainees AFTR record. 23

24 AFQTP Training and Documentation. AFQTP or AFQTP assessments are mandatory and must be completed to fulfill task knowledge requirements on core and diamond tasks for upgrade training Training. Document the start and completion of the AFQTP on the QTP Tab located in AFTR. This is required for all Core and Diamond tasks, AFTR will not let you signed off any tasks in the Job Qualification Standard (JQS) until the completion date has been entered. Diamond tasks require the completion of the web-based course (with the review and post test located in the program) or completion of the AFQTP assessment located on the AFCESA CE- VLC to determine if the trainee has attained the knowledge level required. A minimum passing score of 80% is required. Once the trainee has completed the web-based course or AFQTP assessment, they must take their certificate to their trainer/supervisor to document the completion in AFTR and complete hands-on training if the equipment is available Hands-On Training. DO NOT sign off the tasks in the Job Qualification Standard (JQS) tab until the trainee has completed hands-on/certification training. For diamond tasks, if the equipment is not available at home station, the completion of the AFQTP or AFQTP assessment is all that is required for upgrade. When the equipment becomes available either at home station or at a TDY location, the trainee can be signed off on the JQS tab in AFTR Transcribing from previous versions to new CFETP. Most items should transcribe automatically during the update in AFTR. The UTM and supervisor must conduct a review of the new STS to identify any new core or diamond or non-core tasks and add those tasks to the duty positions For new core or diamond tasks the trainer will ensure the trainee is trained and qualified to the go/no go level. Upon completion of the training the trainee, trainer, and certifier will enter their initials and completion date in AFTR For non-core tasks the trainer will ensure the trainee is trained and qualified to the go/no go level. Upon completion of the training the trainee and trainer will enter their initials and completion date in AFTR Documenting Career Knowledge. When a CDC is not available, the supervisor identifies STS training references that the trainee requires for career knowledge in accordance with (IAW) AFI , Air Force Training Program and ensures, as a minimum, that trainees cover all mandatory items specified in AFI For two-time CDC exam failures, the unit commander will take appropriate action IAW AFI Note: Career knowledge must be documented prior to submitting a CDC waiver Decertification and Recertification. When an airman is found to be unqualified on a task, the supervisor shall click on the decertify button in the JQS tab. enter airman into qualification training. AFTR will automatically generate an AF Form 623a entry and the supervisor will enter the reason for decertification. The individual is recertified using the normal certification process The STS is a guide for development of promotion tests used in the Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS). Specialty Knowledge Tests (SKTs) are developed at the USAF Occupational Measurement Squadron by SNCOs with extensive practical experience in their career field. The tests sample knowledge of STS subject matter areas judged by test development team members as most appropriate for promotion to higher grades. Questions are based upon study references listed in the 24
