CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN
PART 1
PREFACE
1. This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive education and training
document that identifies life-cycle education/training requirements, training support resources, and
minimum core task requirements for this specialty. The CFETP provides personnel a clear career path
to success and instills rigor in all aspects of career field training. NOTE: Civilians occupying associated
positions use part II to support duty position qualification training.
2. The CFETP consists of two parts. Both parts of the plan are used by supervisors to plan, manage,
and control training within the career field.
2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains
how the plan is used; Section B identifies career field progression information, duties and
responsibilities, training strategies, and career field paths; Section C associates each level with specialty
qualifications (knowledge, education, training, and other); and Section D indicates resource constraints.
Some examples are funds, manpower, equipment, and facilities; Section E identifies transition training
guide requirements for SSgt through MSgt.
2.2. 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 course/core task and correspondence course requirements;
Section B contains the course objective list/training standards supervisors use to determine if airmen
satisfy training requirements; Section C identifies available support materials. An example is a
Qualification Training Package (QTP) which may be developed to support proficiency training. QTPs
will be located on the Air Force publications website at the following location:
http://afpubs.hq.af.mil/pubs/speclist.asp?puborg=AF&series=qtp; Section D identifies a training course
index supervisors use to determine resources available to support training. Included here are both
mandatory and optional courses; Section E identifies MAJCOM unique training requirements
supervisors use to determine additional training required for the associated qualification needs.
3. Using guidance provided in the CFETP ensures individuals in this specialty receive effective and
efficient training at the appropriate points in their career. This plan enables us to train today’s work
force for tomorrow’s jobs. At unit level, supervisors and trainers use part II to identify, plan, and
conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan.

SECTION A - GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Purpose. This CFETP provides information necessary for career field managers, training
management, supervisors, and trainers to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective and efficient
career field training program. This plan outlines the training individuals in AFSC 3M0X1 should receive
in order to develop and progress throughout their career. For the purpose of this plan, training is
divided into four areas: initial skills, upgrade, qualification, and continuation training. Initial skills training
is the AFS specific training an individual receives upon entry into the Air Force or retraining into this
specialty. This training is conducted at Lackland AFB, TX. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory
courses, task qualification requirements, and correspondence course completion required for award of
the 5-, 7-, and 9-skill levels. Qualification training is required to qualify an airman in a specific duty
position. It is designed to provide the performance skills and knowledge training required to do the job.
Continuation training is additional training, either in-residence or through career development courses, or
OJT training, provided to 3-, 5-, 7-, and 9-skill level personnel to increase their skills and knowledge
beyond the minimum required for upgrade. All continuing education and training formal courses for the
3M0X1 AFSC are provided by AETC at Lackland AFB, TX and the Air Force Services Agency in
San Antonio, TX. The CFETP has several purposes, some of which are:
1.1. Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct, and evaluate a career field training
program. Also, it is used to ensure that established training is provided at the appropriate point in an
individual's career.
1.2. Identifies task and knowledge training requirements for each skill level in this specialty and
recommends training throughout each phase of an individual's career.
1.3. Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training, and provides the
training medium.
1.4. Identifies major resource constraints, which impact implementation of the desired career field
training program.
2. Use. MAJCOM functional managers use the plan at all levels to ensure comprehensive and
cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the specialty.
2.1. AETC training personnel will develop/revise formal resident, nonresident, field, and exportable
training based upon requirements established by the users and documented in part II of the CFETP.
They also work with the AFCFM to develop acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to
provide the identified training.
2.2. MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and
proficiency requirements. OJT, resident training, contract training, or exportable courses can satisfy
identified requirements. MAJCOM developed training to support this AFSC must be identified for
inclusion into the plan.
