Purpose.

This CFETP provides the information necessary for the Air Force Career Field Manager (AFCFM),MAJCOM functional managers (MFMs), 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 Airfield Operations Officers should receive in order to develop and progress throughout their career. For purposes of this plan, training is divided into Initial Skills Training (IST), Follow-on Skills Training (FST), Proficiency Training (PT), and Development Training (DT). IST is Air Force Specialty (AFS) specific. IST is conducted by the 334th Training Squadron (334 TRS), at Keesler AFB, MS. FST is training accomplished beyond IST to provide Officers with requisite foundational knowledge of Airfield Operations functional areas. PT is required of personnel to increase their skills and add depth of knowledge. DT is training beyond IST and FST designed to broaden knowledge and skillsets. DT is not mandatory for skill level upgrade but some courses may be required for certain jobs/functions (e.g. Air Operations Course Initial Qualification Training).
