Section A - General Information 1. Purpose. This CFETP provides information necessary for Air Force Career Field Managers (AFCFMs), 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 AFSC 2A7X1 should receive 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 or more 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-, and 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 training that provides individuals who are qualified in one or more positions of their Air Force Specialty (AFS) with additional skills/knowledge to enhance their expertise in the career field. Supplemental training is either in-residence or exportable advanced training courses, or on-the-job training. The CFETP has several purposes, some are: 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 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 identifies the training delivery method Identifies major resource constraints that impact full implementation of the desired career field training process. 2. Uses. The plan will be used by MFMs and supervisors at all levels to ensure comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the specialty AETC training personnel will develop/revise formal resident, non-resident, field, and exportable training based on requirements established by the users and documented in Part II of the CFETP. They will also work with the AFCFM to develop acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training. 5

8 CFETP 2A7X1, June MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and proficiency requirements. OJT, resident training, contract training, or exportable course can be used to satisfy the identified requirements. MAJCOM-developed training to support this AFS must be identified for inclusion into the plan Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The lists of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training. 3. Coordination and Approval. The AFCFM is the approval authority. MAJCOM representatives and AETC training personnel will identify and coordinate on the career field training requirements. The AETC training manager for this specialty will initiate an annual review of this document by AETC and MFMs to ensure currency and accuracy. Using the list of courses in Part II, they will eliminate duplicate training. Section B - Career Progression and Information 4. Specialty Description Specialty Summary.

Adequate training and timely progression from the apprentice to the superintendent skill level play an important role in the Air Force s ability to accomplish its mission. It is essential that everyone involved in training do their part to plan, manage, and conduct an effective training program. The guidance provided in this part of the CFETP will ensure each individual receives necessary training at appropriate points in their career Apprentice (3). Following Basic Military Training, initial skills training will be provided in a resident course at Detachment 1, 361 Training Squadron, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The course will lay the foundation for additional training at the graduate's first duty assignment. Trainees will utilize the career development courses (s), task qualification training, and other exportable courses to progress in their career field. Once the trainer task certifies the trainee, the trainee may perform the task unsupervised Journeyman (5). Once upgraded to the 5-level, the journeyman will enter into continuation training to broaden their experience base by increasing their knowledge and skill in troubleshooting and solving more complex problems. Five-levels may be assigned job positions such as quality assurance and various other staff positions. After having 48 months in the Air Force, 5-levels will attend Airman Leadership School (ALS) to enhance their Professional Military Education (PME). Five-levels will be considered for appointment as unit trainers. Individuals will use their s to prepare for Weighted Airman Promotion testing. They should also consider continuing their education toward a Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) degree Craftsman (7). A craftsman can expect to fill various supervisory and management positions such as shift leader, element chief, task certifier, and various other staff positions. Exportable MDS specific courses and MAJCOM/unit directed courses are also available. Sevenlevels should take courses or obtain added knowledge in management of resources and personnel. Continued academic education through CCAF and higher degree programs is encouraged. In addition, prior to assuming the rank of MSgt, individuals will attend the Noncommissioned Officer Academy Superintendent (9). A 9-level can be expected to fill positions such as flight chief, production supervisor, and various staff NCOIC jobs. Additional training in the areas of budget, 7

10 CFETP 2A7X1, June 2003 manpower, resources, and personnel management should be pursued through continuing education. Individuals promoted to SMSgt will attend the Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy. Additional higher education and completion of courses outside their career AFS is also recommended. 6. Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the Aircraft Metals Technology career field. The spectrum includes a strategy for when, where, and how to meet these training requirements. The strategy must ensure we develop affordable training, eliminate duplication, and prevent a fragmented approach to training. The following training decisions were made at the career field utilization and training workshop held at Aberdeen Proving Ground Maryland from 15 to 19 July Initial Skills. The initial skills course was revised as a result of MAJCOM requirements. MAJCOMs agreed the benefit/return on investment did not justify the mission ready airman (MRA) training. It was determined students have difficulty passing the MRA block of instruction which contributed to an unusually high washback and elimination rates. Based on the deletion of the MRA block of instruction (lowering proficiency levels from 3c to 2b), it was estimated the course length would be reduced from 99 to 90 days. Training development element (TDE) and course personnel scrubbed the course and determined that it would require 97 days to fulfill the MAJCOMs training requirements established at the U&TW; therefore, the revised course length will be 97 days. It was also determined that the +/-.002 tolerances for pocket milling are too stringent for training purposes. U&TW members agreed that the schoolhouse should use +/-.005 for training purposes on all STS items trained to the 3c proficiency level Five Upgrade Requirements. There are now 68 5-level core tasks. The 5-level was reviewed. The following changes resulted: Training requirements for CAMS, GO81, and SBSS were deleted; brazing of non-ferrous metals and discussion of different types were deleted/reduced to match the revised CFETP; coverage of die making was reduced to reflect the decreased training emphasis on this infrequently performed task; coverage of the universal shear and punching machine was expanded; MIG welding, operation of portable welding equipment, abrasive sanding operations, use of nitrogen/dry ice during bearing installation, and CAM were added; and coverage of conventional milling machine, lathe taper turning, toolmaker s knee, maintenance of Rockwell Hardness tested, abrasive media blaster, and abrasive cutoff saw will be reworded to match the revised CFETP Seven Upgrade Requirements. The following changes were made to training requirements for the craftsman course: requirements for prioritize and schedule maintenance, logistics maintenance management, maintenance equipment accountability, and accident/incident investigation were deleted; weld inspection was added; blueprint interpretation was reduced from 18 to 8 hours and changed to 3c proficiency level, providing a much needed 7-level involvement in defective weld quality control and corrective measures; advance tooling was reduced from 13 to 8 hours. The lessons on craftsman critical tasks covering carbides, cermets/ceramics, and tool troubleshooting were retained. Blueprint interpretation becomes a part of the new Block I laboratory section of Design and Manufacture Jigs/Fixtures covering types, materials, and actually designing a jig/fixture from the blueprint of a part. The new Block II will include practical, hands-on application where students actually manufacture a jig/fixture from the blueprint. This increased hands-on training will increase the craftsman s skills to be more commensurate with the training needs of field units. 8

11 CFETP 2A7X1, June Continuation Training. Any additional knowledge and skill requirements that were not taught through initial or upgrade training are assigned to unit training or Training Detachments. The purpose of the continuation training program is to provide additional training exceeding minimum upgrade training requirements with emphasis on present and future duty positions. MAJCOMs develop a proficiency training program that ensures individuals in the Aircraft Metals Technology career field receive the necessary training at the appropriate point in their career. The program identifies both mandatory and optional training requirements. 7. Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). CCAF offers and award job-related associate in applied science degrees and other academic credentials that enhance mission readiness, contribute to recruiting, assist in retention and support the career transitions of Air Force enlisted members. The college works with Air Force training centers, regional accrediting agencies, and hundreds of cooperating civilian colleges and universities. Since the technical nature of most Air Force courses places them on a level with college study, airmen earn fully recognized college credits for most of what they learn in formal coursework and on-the-job training. In addition to its associate degree program, CCAF offers the following: 7.1. Degree Requirements. All airmen are enrolled in the CCAF degree program applicable to his/her AFSC upon completion of basic military training. Prior to completing an associate degree, the member must be awarded their AFSC 5-skill level and fulfill the following academic requirements: Semester Hours Technical Education 24 Leadership, Management & Military Studies 6 Physical Education 4 General Education 15 Program Elective 15 Technical Education; Leadership, Management, and Military Studies; or General Education Total Technical Education (24 Semester Hours): Twenty-four semester hours are required to fulfill the Technical Education requirement.

The Course Objective List (COL) in Part II lists the training rendered at the 7-level resident course at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland Implementation. Upgrade to the 7-level will require 12 months OJT and completion of all AF core tasks, the 2AX7X, and the resident, 7-level course at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland Superintendent Training: Specialty Qualification. This information is located in the official specialty description in AFMAN , paragraph Knowledge. Knowledge is mandatory of: aircraft structural repair, metals processing, corrosion control, fabric and rubber repair, and non-destructive inspection methods; characteristics of metals identification; concepts and application of maintenance directives; 15

18 CFETP 2A7X1, June 2003 maintenance data reporting; and proper use, handling, and disposal of hazardous waste and materials Education. There are no additional education requirements beyond those defined for the apprentice level. However, completion of a CCAF degree is desirable Training. For award of AFSC 2A790, promotion to SMSgt is mandatory Experience. For award of AFSC 2A790, qualification in and possession of AFSC 2A771, 2A772, 2A773, or 2A774 is mandatory. Also, experience is mandatory managing aircraft metals technology, nondestructive inspection, aircraft structural maintenance, or survival equipment specialties and functions Other. Not Used Training Sources and Resources. Instruction received at the Senior NCO Academy and duty position qualification represent the required sources for upgrade to the 9-skill level Implementation. The 9-level will be awarded after promotion to SMSgt. Section D - Resource Constraints 11. Purpose. This section identifies known resource constraints that preclude optimal/desired training from being developed or conducted, including information such as cost and manpower. Narrative explanations of each resource constraint and an impact statement describing what effect each constraint has on training are included. Also included in this section are actions required, office of primary responsibility, and target completion dates. Resource constraints will be, as a minimum, reviewed and updated annually. 12. Apprentice Training: No manpower/man-year constraints were identified. Initially, equipment constraints included12 MIG Welders and 1 Plasma Cutter (estimated cost of $35,000). Subsequent to the U&TW, the equipment was funded and purchased; therefore, there are no constraints for apprentice level training. 13. Five- Training: No 5-level resource constraints were identified by the U&TW. 14. Seven- Training. No 7-level resource constraints were identified by the U&TW Section E. - Transitional Training Guide. There are no transition training requirements This area is reserved. 16

19 CFETP 2A7X1, June 2003 PART II Section A - Specialty Training Standard 1. Implementation. This STS will be used for technical training provided by Air Education and Training Command and implemented with the apprentice class beginning 10 July 2003 and graduating 1 December 2003 and the craftsman class beginning 28 July 2003 and graduating 8 August Purpose. As prescribed in AFI , this STS: 2.1. Lists in column 1 (Tasks, Knowledge, and Technical References) the most common tasks, knowledge, and technical references (TR) necessary for airmen to perform duties in the 3-, 5-, and 7-skill level Identifies in column 2 (Core Tasks), by asterisk (*), specialty-wide training requirements. Core tasks identified with an */R are optional for the AFRC and ANG. MAJCOM Functional Managers, commanders, and supervisors may designate additional critical tasks as necessary. When designated, certify these core tasks using normal core task certification procedures. As a minimum, certification on all AFCFM directed core tasks applicable to the specialty must be completed for skill level upgrade. Exemptions: Core tasks, which are not applicable to base assigned aircraft or equipment, are not required for upgrade (units are not required to send personnel TDY for core task training) For units with more than one mission design (e.g. A-10) aircraft, upgrade trainees need only complete core tasks on a single mission design. MFMs, unit commanders, and/or supervisors may require trainees to complete core task training on additional mission design aircraft, if desired. If some of these core tasks involve training in another unit on base, trainees must still complete all core tasks relevant to at least one mission design aircraft. All units are bound by the requirements in this CFETP and will accommodate core task trainees from other units Units that use the GO81 maintenance data collection system do not need to complete Core Automated Maintenance System (CAMS) Computer Based Training (CBT) core tasks. However, these units must be capable of training CAMS related CBT core tasks for deployment preparation. This capability ensures GO81 users are capable of operating CAMS prior to deploying to CAMS using units Provides certification for OJT. Column 3 is used to record completion of tasks and knowledge training requirements. Use automated training management systems to document technician qualifications, if available. Task certification must show a certification or completed date Shows formal training and correspondence course requirements. Column 4 shows the proficiency to be demonstrated on the job by the graduate as a result of training on the task/knowledge and the career knowledge provided by the correspondence course. When two codes are used in columns 4A and 4C (e.g. 2b/b), the first code is the established requirement for resident training on the task/knowledge, and the second code indicates the level of training provided in the course due to equipment shortages or other resource constraints. See CADRE/AFSC/ listing maintained by the unit training manager for current listing. 17

20 CFETP 2A7X1, June Qualitative Requirements. Attachment 1 contains the proficiency code key used to indicate the level of training and knowledge provided by resident training and career development courses Job Qualification Standard. Becomes a job qualification standard (JQS) for on-the-job training when placed in AF Form 623, On-The-Job Training Record, and used according to AFI For OJT, the tasks in column 1 are trained and qualified to the go/no go level. "Go" means the individual can perform the task without assistance and meets local requirements for accuracy, timeliness, and correct procedures. When used as a JQS, the following requirements apply: Documentation. Document and certify completion of training IAW AFMAN , volume 35. Automated records, utilizing Core Automated Maintenance System (CAMS), reflecting this STS may be used and is highly encouraged Converting from Old Document to CFETP. All AFJQSs and previous CFETPs are replaced by this CFETP; therefore, conversion of all training records to this CFETP STS is mandatory. Transcribe all previously qualified tasks IAW AFI , volume Is a guide for development of promotion tests used in the Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS). Specialty Knowledge Tests (SKTs) are developed at the USAF Occupational Measurement Squadron by senior NCOs with extensive practical experience in their career fields. The tests sample 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 outlined in AFI , Airman Promotion Program. WAPS is not applicable to the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve. 3.

44 CFETP 2A7X7, June 2003 Section B - Course Objective List 4. Measurement. Each proficiency coded STS task or knowledge item taught at the technical school is measured through the use of an objective. An objective is a written instruction for the student so he or she knows what is expected of them to successfully complete training on each task. Each objective is comprised of a condition, behavior, and standard that states what is expected of the student for each task. The condition is the setting in which the training takes place. The behavior is the action a student must demonstrate to accomplish a task (i.e. remove and install wheel and tire assembly). The standard is the level of performance that is measured to ensure the STS proficiency code level is attained. Each objective uses letter code(s) to identify how it is measured. All objectives use the PC code that indicates a progress check is used to measure subject or task knowledge. Progress checks are also used to measure student accomplishment of performance objectives. W indicates a comprehensive written test and is used to measure the subject and/or task knowledge at the end of a block of instruction. PC/W indicates separate measurement of both knowledge and performance elements using a written test and a performance progress check. 5. Standard. The standard is 70% on written examinations. Standards for performance measurement are indicated in the objective and delineated on the individual s progress checklist. The instructor documents each students progress for the on the checklist. Instructor assistance is provided as needed during the progress check, and students may be required to repeat all or part of the behavior until satisfactory performance is attained. Students must satisfactorily complete all PCs prior to taking the written test. 6. Proficiency. Most task performance is taught to the "2b" or "3c" proficiency level. The "2b" means the student can do most parts of the task, but does need assistance on the hardest parts of the task (partially proficient). The student can also determine step by step procedures for doing the task. The "3c" means the student can do all parts of the task but may need a spot check of completed work (competent). The student should be able to identify why and when the task must be done and why each step is needed. 7. Course Objectives. If you require detailed course descriptions and objectives, please provide a written request to the AETC Training Manager, 361 TRS/TRR, 501 Missile Road, Sheppard AFB TX Section C - Support Material 8.
