75 STION, MAJOM UNIQU RQUIRMNTS 1. Purpose. The following information applies to the Air Reserve omponent (AR) and serves to provide AR iomedical quipment Technicians (MT) apprentices (non-prior-service and retrainees) with an opportunity to receive the additional training days necessary to become proficient in maintaining biomedical equipment that is identified in this STS as a core task. This section applies to all MT s assigned to all Air orce Reserve and Air National Guard medical and aeromedical evacuation squadrons (referred to, hereafter, as medical unit) Qualification (also referred to as proficiency or seasoning) training requirements: Qualification training days is available for AR MT apprentices to satisfactorily initiate and complete the core task training requirements identified in this STS Upon completion of the iomedical quipment Technician, J8AR4A231 00AA, all MT apprentices will be assigned to a Medical quipment Repair enter (MR) for up to 120 days (minimum of 90 days) to acquire proficiency in performing the core tasks required to successfully achieve the 5-skill level according to Air orce upgrade training guidelines or optimal results, this follow-on training should commence immediately following graduation from the iomedical quipment Apprentice Advanced planning is required to ensure the apprentice receives qualification training immediately upon graduating from the iomedical quipment Technician. With concurrence from the AR medical unit commander, the section MT supervisor, in conjunction with the senior air reserve/health technician must contact the regional MR to arrange follow-on training for the newly assigned MT trainee (4A2X1). This process should also be coordinated with the guard/reserve liaison at Sheppard A. The MR may recommend the apprentice receive upgrade training at a qualified A MT if extenuating circumstances (i.e., lack of qualified available staff, committed to supporting contingency operations, etc) fail to permit the apprentice from receiving the training at the MR. (A qualified MT is defined as a facility that possesses the time, equipment, and expertise necessary to train the apprentice on all core tasks as outlined in this STS.) Active duty personnel must ensure that an experienced MT supervisor is assigned to assist the apprentice in gaining the desired confidence and proficiency. The training schedule must be finalized prior to the iomedical quipment Apprentice start date Ship the apprentice s MT toolkit to the guard or reserve liaison at Sheppard A. The MT apprentice requires a toolkit to perform follow-on qualification training at the scheduled regional MR. (NOT: All MTs in the active, guard, and reserve require an A standard issue toolkit to perform duties during peacetime and contingency operations. AR MTs are issued a toolkit from their unit of assignment.) our weeks before the apprentice graduates from the apprentice course, the senior air reserve/health technician will ship the MT tool kit to the guard or reserve liaison depending upon which component the apprentice is assigned to. The reserve liaison can be reached at SN ; the guard liaison can be reached at SN The address is as follows: Air National Guard (or Air orce Reserve) Liaison th Street, ldg. 920, Rm. A100 Sheppard A TX To ensure continuity between MT resident training and qualification training at the regional MR, the student will forward a copy of his or her technical school certificate to his or her unit of assignment. The AR unit of assignment will then initiate upgrade action using A orm 2096 to award the 3-skill level and enter the apprentice in the appropriate training status code The apprentice MT AS upgrade training requirements may be accomplished at his or her civilian MT under the direct supervision of an experienced, qualified MT supervisor. If the apprentice MT is employed as a MT in the civilian sector, has immediate access to the same types of biomedical equipment identified in this STS, and does not receive the appropriate number of qualification training days necessary to successfully complete all core tasks, then this training may be accomplished at the apprentice s civilian MT under the direct supervision of a qualified MT. The apprentice must present the supervisor with his or her original copy of the iomedical quipment Technician STS. As the required core tasks are successfully 72

76 completed, the supervisor is authorized to sign-off on the STS indicating that the apprentice has satisfactorily completed each core task The AR medical Reserve unit may submit a waiver to bypass the above qualification training if proficiency days are unavailable. In the case where qualification training days are unavailable at the base and the headquarters, the proficiency training may be waived until such time that days become available and the apprentice has an opportunity to train on the equipment identified in this STS. The waiver package must be sent to the A 4A2 areer ield Manager, Air orce Medical Logistics Office, t. etrick, M through HQ AR/ANG iomedical quipment unctional Manager. The AR unctional Manager can be reached at SN ; the ANG unctional Manager can be reached at SN

The focus of this training guidance is to bring all training documentation back into one OJT record. hanging medical training requirements by JAHO created a need for additional ways to document training outside the OJT record. The end result was that each training location created different means to document training; a standardized process was needed. Air orce Instruction , Volume 3, authorizes areer ield Managers to bring training documentation back into one OJT record, thus the creation of the nlisted and ompetency older. All iomedical quipment Technician personnel, from Airman asic to hief Master Sergeant, will have an nlisted ompetency older The folder will be kept current for the present duty position. The following information provides specific guidance along with recommended documentation, consistent with current Air orce instruction/directives. This training guidance has focused on two main areas: 1) developing a Master Plan and 2) documenting training in the nlisted and ompetency older 2. Master Plan (MTP). The MTP is a reference guide developed for each section that includes all facets of training for individuals assigned. It is to be used as a reference source for the type of training and documentation pertaining to each assigned member. The MTP is used to standardize training and to give trainers, trainees, supervisors, NOIs and OIs an overview of the training process for the duty section. The MTP is also used as a means to reduce the amount of paperwork previously required during the training process The MTP is an overview of training for the duty section and it should include all documents involved in the training process for the duty section. will vary from section to section and person to person, but there are certain documents that will be a standard requirement for all MTPs. They are listed below Master task list (MTL) urrent PT or AJQS Locally developed A orm 797, Job Qualification Standard (JQS) ontinuation Sheet (if applicable) Milestones for tasks and completion (identify the projected time frame the trainee will complete their core tasks and each set of s as required). Note: Any one-deep work centers, or those with fully qualified senior NOs (skill level commensurate with their grade), require only a MTL. 3. ocumentation of (The nlisted and ompetency older). The purpose of this section is to provide guidelines and examples of proper documentation for the many forms used in training all iomedical quipment Technician personnel (4A2X1s). documentations help to assess readiness capability, individual strengths and weaknesses, and resources needed to support quality patient care. It also aids compliance with Joint ommission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JAHO) and regulatory requirements. The nlisted and ompetency older is limited to the forms presented here and those prescribed in AI The unit training manager can provide assistance with training documentation Preparing the 4A2X1 and ompetency older. To assemble a 4A2X1 training record, utilize a standard 6-part folder (NSN , older, 6 Section). Attach a computer generated or typewritten label on the front cover titled nlisted and ompetency older. In addition, include the members/trainee s full name (Last Name, irst Name, Middle Initial), rank and last 4 digits of the SSAN. This label will be centered and attached to the top half of the front cover of the 6-part folder, as viewed in portrait orientation. An AVA , Privacy Act Statement, will be centered and attached to the bottom half of the front cover. To facilitate filing, other sections of the 6-part folder are discussed in detail in the paragraphs below. 74

ON - TH - JO TRAINING ROR ONTINUATION SHT INITIAL RIING ( Orientation) has been briefed on the On-The-Job (OJT) Program and how he/she fits into the program while in upgrade training (UGT). Upgrade training was explained as a dual channel process designed to qualify an Airman for skill level upgrade. ual channel OJT is a systematic reportable application of self-study and the craftsman/apprentice principle. s acquire job qualification while performing on the job under supervision. This combination, knowledge and job position qualification constitutes the dual channel concept. Requirements from AIs , and AMAN were covered. A orms 623, 623a, 797, 2096, and the TP, STS/JQS or automated JQS, which serves to make up the individual training record, was explained. Responsibilities of the commander, base training, unit education and training manager (TM), immediate supervisor, trainer, and trainee were discussed. The career development course () was briefly discussed and will be explained in detail when the arrives, if applicable. Requirements for upgrade in AS 4A2X1 are: (1) satisfactory completion of 4A251A and 4A51, (2) supervisor certification of job qualifications with adequate hands on training, (3) completion of the 4A271, when available, and (4) supervisor recommendation for upgrade. ach Airman in grades 1 through 6 (and SNO s in retraining status) have an A orm 623, which must contain a TP or JQS. The TP or JQS may contain 150 or more separate tasks but it should be annotated to show only those tasks the Airman is required to perform in his/her current duty position, all AMAN mandatory requirements for upgrade, and core task requirements.
