4 AIR TRANSPORTATION SPECIALTY AFSC 2T2X1 CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN Part I Preface 1. This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive education and training document that identifies life-cycle education and training requirements, training support resources, and minimum core task requirements for this specialty. The CFETP provides personnel a clear career path to success and covers all aspects of career field training. Note: Civilians occupying associated positions will use Part II to support their duty position qualification training. 2. The CFETP consists of two parts. Supervisors plan, manage, and control training within the specialty using both parts of the plan Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains how everyone will use the plan. Section B identifies career field progression information, duties and responsibilities, training strategies, and career field path. Section C associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, experience, training, and other). Section D indicates resource constraints (i.e. funds, manpower, equipment, facilities). Section E identifies transition training plans for the 2T2X1 career field Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standard (STS) and includes duties, tasks, technical references to support training, Air Education and Training Command (AETC) conducted training, wartime tasks, core tasks, and correspondence course requirements; Section B, the Objective List, is currently reserved. Section C identifies available training materials such as HQ AMC Qualification Training Packages (QTPs) which were developed to support upgrade and proficiency training. These packages are located on the following website: Section D has a training course index supervisors can refer to for available support training. This area lists both mandatory and optional courses; Section E identifies MAJCOM unique training requirements supervisors can use to determine additional qualification training. 3. Using this CFETP as a guide will ensure individuals in this specialty receive effective and efficient training at the appropriate point in their career. This plan enables us to train today's work force for tomorrow's jobs. At unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan. 1

Section A - General Information 1. Purpose. This CFETP provides information necessary for the AFCFM, MAJCOM functional managers (MFMs), commanders, training managers, supervisors and trainers to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective career field training program. This plan outlines the training that individuals in this AFS should receive in order to develop and progress throughout their career. This plan identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced, and proficiency training. Initial skills training is the AFS specific training an individual receives upon entry into the Air Force or upon retraining into this 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-, 9-skill levels. 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/knowledge required to do the job. Advanced training is formal specialty training used for selected Airmen. The CFETP has several purposes, to include: 1.1. 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 subject knowledge training requirements for each skill level in the specialty and recommends education/training throughout each phase of an individual s career Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training, and the training delivery method. 5

9 1.4. Identifies major resource constraints that impact full implementation of the desired career field training process. 2. Uses.

The * is placed in the column corresponding to the 3-, 5-, or 7-skill level to identify specialty-wide training requirements for that level. These tasks and knowledge items are based on an analysis of the duties and responsibilities contained in the Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD), The Official Guide to the Air Force Enlisted Classification Codes. Core Task STS line items are mandatory and must be completed before the 5- or 7-skill level can be awarded Column 3 provides space for certification of OJT and is used to record completion of tasks and knowledge training requirements. If available, supervisors and trainers should use the automated training management systems to document technician qualifications. Task certification must show a start and completion date and include both trainer and trainee initials. Note: There are currently no tasks in the Air Transportation career field requiring third party certification Column 4 identifies the proficiency to be demonstrated on the job by the formal AETC school graduate as a result of training on the task/knowledge and the career knowledge provided by the correspondence course. See unit training manager for current list Attachment 1 shows the qualitative requirements and the proficiency code key used to indicate the level of training and knowledge provided by resident training and career development courses The STS becomes a job qualification standard (JQS) for on-the-job training when automated or placed in AF Form 623, Individual Training Record. Document and certify completion of training IAW AFI , Air Force Training Program. Tasks are trained and qualified to the go/no go level. Go means the individual can perform the task without assistance and meet local demands for accuracy, timeliness, and correct use of procedures The STS is a guide for development of promotion tests used in the Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS). The Specialty Knowledge Test (SKT) is developed at the HQ AETC Airman Advancement Division by SNCOs with extensive practical experience in their career fields. The test samples 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 WAPS catalog. Individual responsibilities are in chapter 1 of AFI , Air Force Military Personnel Testing System. WAPS is not applicable to the Air Force Reserves and Air National Guard T2 AFCFM Policy Exception: When core task(s) training or capability does not exist on the local installation, the core task(s) will be annotated as no training capability exists on local installation and filed in the trainee s OJT record or automated system. After coordination with the MAJCOM Functional Manager (MFM), the unit will maintain a letter listing applicable STS core task(s), signed by the unit commander, certifying no capability exists on local installation. The letter will include the specific core task(s) and the STS line item reference(s). The unit commander s letter will be updated bi-annually and forwarded to the MFM. When a new unit commander is assigned, the work center supervisor will file an updated commander certified letter within 120 days of the new commander s appointment. 3. Additional Requirements: MAJCOMs will use QTPs to train to their utmost capability based on available equipment or tasks performed at a specific location. Partial use of QTP training steps is 15
