Purpose

The Career Field Enlisted Training Program (CFETP) is a comprehensive education and training document identifying life cycle education and training requirements, training support resources, and minimum requirements for personnel of an Air Force specialty. The CFETP provides a career path to success in all parts of career field training and serves as the "Contract for Training" between Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and career field.

Note: Part II guides and supports qualification training to civilians occupying associated duty positions.

The CFETP consists of two parts. Supervisors use both parts to plan, manage, and control specialty training.

Part I provides information for overall management of a specialty.

Section A explains how the plan is used.

Section B identifies progression information, duties and responsibilities, training decisions and career field path.

Section C associates each level with qualifications (knowledge, education, experience, training and other as defined).

Section D displays resource constraints.

Section E identifies training guide requirements for a Staff Sergeant (SSgt) - Master Sergeant (MSgt) transition.

Part II includes:

Section A explains the Specialty Training Standard (STS). This includes duties, tasks, and technical references that support local training, AETC conducted training, wartime course and core task, and correspondence course requirements.

Section B contains the course objective list and training standards. Supervisors use these to determine when airmen satisfy training requirements.

Section C identifies available support materials-often-developed Qualification Training Package (QTP) used to support proficiency training.

Section D identifies the training course index. Supervisors use this to determine available resources to support training. Mandatory and optional courses and exportable courseware are included.

Section E identifies Major Command (MAJCOM) unique training requirements supervisors use to determine additional training required for the associated qualification need.

Section F identifies home station training references and course material required for this specialty in support of contingency and wartime training.

Guidance provided in the CFETP ensures individuals in this specialty receive effective training to produce desired results at the appropriate interval in their career. This plan enables supervisors' to train today's workforce for tomorrow's jobs.
