Purpose.

Career Field Managers (CFM), commanders, training managers, supervisors, trainers and the training wings use this CFETP to plan, develop, manage and conduct an effective career field training program. This plan outlines the training individuals in AFSC 3P0X1/A/B must receive to develop and progress throughout their careers and become proficient. It identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced and continuation training requirements. Initial skills training is the AFS specific training an individual receives upon entry into the Air Force, retraining into this specialty or lateral training into either the A or B AFSCs. AETC provides this training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, TX for AFSC 3P0X1/A/B. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory task qualification requirements, required for award of the 5-, 7-, and 9-skill levels. Duty Position Qualification training is actual hands-on task performance and demonstration training designed to qualify a Defender in a specific duty position. This training program occurs continuously during a Defender's career. It provides the performance skills and knowledge training required to do the job. The CFETP also serves the following purposes:

Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct and evaluate a career field training program. It also helps supervisors identify training at the appropriate point in an individual's career.
