AFSC 1T0X1
CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN
PART I
Preface
1. A thoroughly trained, motivated enlisted workforce is the Air Force's key resource in
meeting challenges of the future. The Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) for
AFSC 1T0X1, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) Specialist, provides
management with the life-cycle education/training framework and guidance necessary for
planning, developing, managing, and conducting career field education and training programs. It
provides a training guide for the career field that identifies mandatory and optional skill level
training received during career progression. This CFETP identifies the specific training
individuals receive during each phase of their career. This plan will provide personnel a clear
path to success, instill rigor in all aspects of career field training, and train today's workforce for
tomorrow's jobs. Ensure that all records, created as a result of processes prescribed in this
publication, are maintained in accordance with Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 33-363,
Management of Records, and disposed of in accordance with Air Force Records Information
Management System (AFRIMS) Records Disposition Schedule (RDS) located at
https://www.my.af.mil/gcss-af61a/afrims/afrims/.
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 training in the career
field. It contains administrative details, general information on purpose, use, and approval of the
CFETP, career field progression, skill level training requirements, and resource constraints.
2.2. Part II of the CFETP contains the Specialty Training Standard (STS), Training Course
Index, and Command Unique Requirements (replaces Air Force or Command Job Qualification
Standards). MAJCOMs may submit attachments to the CFETP in Part II, Section B, Command
Unique Requirements, to accomplish the objectives of previously command written and
disseminated Command Job Qualification Standards (CJQS) or command directed requirements
not fulfilled by the Specialty Training Standard (STS) in Part II, Section A. Supervisors and
trainers at the unit level will use Part II of the CFETP to identify, plan, and conduct unit level
training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan.
3. Using guidance provided in the CFETP will ensure individuals, in this specialty, receive
effective and efficient training at the appropriate points in their career. This plan will enable us to
train todays workforce for tomorrows 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.
Abbreviations/Terms Explained
Advanced Training. A formal course which 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. Training is for selected career airmen at the advanced level of
an AFS.

Air Force Job Qualification Standard/Command Job Qualification Standard

(AFJQS/CJQS). A comprehensive task list that describes a particular job type or duty position.
They are used by supervisors to document task qualifications. The tasks on AFJQS/CJQS are
common to all persons serving in the described duty position.
Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP). A CFETP is a comprehensive, multipurpose document encapsulating the entire spectrum of education and training for a career field.
It outlines a logical growth plan that includes training resources and is designed to make career
field training identifiable, eliminate duplication, and ensure this training is budget defensible.
Computer-Based Training (CBT). The use of computers to aid in the delivery and management
of instruction.
Core Task. Tasks that Air Force Career Field Managers (AFCFMs) have identified as minimum
qualification requirement within an Air Force Specialty. Failure to complete core tasks precludes
upgrade. Waiver authority for core tasks is HQ USAF/A30-AS.
Critical Tasks. Tasks, which have been identified by the workcenter supervisor, as having a
detrimental effect on mission accomplishment if not performed correctly. Critical tasks may or
may not be the same as core tasks, but are mandatory if identified as critical to the individuals
position by the supervisor or work center.
Distance Learning (DL). Training that is exported, such as from a resident course, to a field
location for trainees to complete without the on-site support of the formal school instructor.
Includes video teleseminar (VTS), video teletraining (VTT), and computer-based training (CBT).
Enlisted Specialty Training (EST). The total training process used to qualify airmen in their
assigned specialty to the 3-, 5-, or 7-skill level.
Faculty Folder. A folder required as a CCAF instructor, to monitor initial and qualification
training, as well as, subject matter qualification training. All documentation concerning
evaluations, practicum, college transcripts, CCAF progress reports, and degree contracts are to
be maintained, depending on specific requirements listed in the current CCAF Campus
Relations, Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines.
Initial Skills Training. A formal resident course that results in an award of the entry level.

Section A General Information

1. Purpose of the CFETP. This CFETP provides information necessary for the Air Force
Career Field Manager (AFCFM), MAJCOM Functional Managers (MFMs), commanders,
training managers, curriculum developers, supervisors, and trainers to plan, develop, manage,
and conduct an effective career field training program. The plan outlines specific training
individuals, in AFSC 1T0X1, must receive in order to develop and progress throughout their
career. Initial skills training is Air Force Specialty (AFS) specific training an individual requires
for entry into this specialty. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory courses and task
qualification requirements required 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 AFS training used for selected airmen. Proficiency training is additional
training, either in-residence, exportable advanced training courses, or on-the-job training,
provided to 3-, 5-, 7-, and 9-skill level personnel to increase their skills and knowledge beyond
the minimum required for upgrade. 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. Ensures 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 the specialty and
recommends education/training throughout an individual's career.
1.3. Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training, and the
training delivery.
1.4. Identifies major resource constraints that impact implementation of the desired CFETP.
2. Use of the CFETP. This plan will be used by MFMs and supervisors, at all levels, to ensure
comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available to each individual in the specialty:
2.1. AETC training personnel will develop/revise formal resident, nonresident, field, and
exportable training courseware based upon 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 the resources needed to provide the identified training.
2.2. MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial,
upgrade, and proficiency requirements. Identified requirements may be satisfied by OJT, formal
training, contract training, or exportable courses. MAJCOM-developed training, to support this
AFSC, must be identified for inclusion in this plan and must not duplicate other available
training resources.
2.3. 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 AFCFM for this specialty will initiate an annual review of this
document by AETC and MFMs to ensure currency and accuracy.
4. Waiver Authority for Mandatory Requirements. IAW AFI 36-2101, Developing,
Managing, and Conducting Training, Table 3.2., and AFI 36-2201 Vol 5, Air Force Training
Program Career Field Education and Training, the AFCFM is the waiver approval authority for
7

mandatory training, experience, and education listed in the official specialty description
referenced in AIR FORCE ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION DIRECTORY (AFECD). Waiver
requests must be approved by the MFM prior to review by the AFCFM. See AFI 36-2101, Table
3.3., for specific procedures of processing requests. Waiving any portion of an established
standard requires an in-depth consideration on how it will affect the AF mission, the specialty,
and the individual:
4.1. The AFCFM is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the specialty. When evaluating
waiver requests the AFCFM must remember that established mandatory requirements were
justified and validated using MAJCOM functional inputs. The only waivers that should be
approved are ones that contain an equivalent substitute for the requirement. Any review should
compare the waiver request against predetermined standards to ensure the integrity of the
specialty is maintained. A review should also consider the trainees task knowledge and
performance, capability in relation to mission requirements, ability to learn and transfer this
knowledge to performance to meet mission needs and future needs within the specialty equal to
peers.

mission. It is essential that everyone involved in training do their part to plan, manage, and
conduct an effective training program. The guidance in this part of the CFETP reflects skill
progression decisions made during the April 2006 SERE Specialist Career Field U&TW. This
guidance will ensure each individual receives viable training at the appropriate points in their
career:
6.1. Helper Level (1). Initial entry to the SERE Specialist career field is managed by
AETC/A3ZA. The 342 TRS coordinates initial screening of SERE Specialist candidates during
Basic Military Training (BMT), with 37 TRW entities, and conducts the SERE Specialist
Selection (S3) (2 AF course L3AQR1T031-0S0A). All SERE Specialist candidates will complete
L3AQR1T031-0S0A, SERE Specialist Selection. S3 cadre will:
6.1.1. Contact SERE Specialist candidates during BMT:
6.1.1.1. Ensure candidates are prepared and motivated for S3.
6.1.1.2. Assess candidates physical fitness and recommend ways to maintain or improve during
BMT:
6.1.1.2.1. S3 cadre will use the SERE Physical Ability and Stamina Test (PAST) to assess

superintendent, or other staff positions. Additional training in the areas of budget, manpower,
resources, and personnel management should be pursued through continuing education.
Additional higher education and completion of courses outside their AFSC are recommended.
7. Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to
encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the 1T0X1 career field. The spectrum
includes a strategy for when, where, and how to meet the training requirements. The training
decisions reflected in this part of the CFETP are the results of the April 2006 SERE Specialist
Career Field U&TW.
7.1. Initial Skills Level (1):
7.1.1. A Training Planning Team (TPT) was conducted, in March 2006, to provide suggestions
to the April 2006 U&TW on qualifying candidates to attend S-V81-A. The U&TW accepted the
following for the 1T0 career field:
7.1.1.1. The overall purpose of S3 is to preclude the expense of excessive attrition after PCSing
SERE Specialist candidates to Fairchild AFB WA. S3 does this in three primary ways:
7.1.1.1.1. Motivates SERE Specialist candidates toward a career as a SERE Specialist.
7.1.1.1.2. Exposes SERE Specialist candidates to the rigors and stressors of the SERE Specialist
career field, allowing each candidate to make the most informed decision possible to volunteer
for SERE Specialist duties.
7.1.1.1.3. Exposes SERE Specialist candidates to the rigors and stressors of the SERE Specialist
career field to assess the following capabilities and characteristics necessary for success in SERE
Specialist Training (capabilities and characteristics are followed by word pictures to ensure
objective evaluation):

classroom, laboratory, and remote field training environments to facilitate the exposure to rigors
and stressors of the SERE Specialist career field identified in paragraphs 6.1.2 and 6.1.3.
7.1.1.3. S3 will include a minimum of 20 hours of physical training (PT) to prepare candidates
for course S-V81-A, SERE Specialist training. S3 will introduce the CrossFit physical training
program. Each successful candidate will reaccomplish and pass the SERE PAST and will
complete a four-mile walk in less than one hour with 65-pound ruck.
7.1.1.4. All S3 course control documents will be coordinated with and approved by the AETC
SERE MFM, prior to implementation. Additionally, the AETC SERE MFM and AETC SERE
Pipeline Manager will review S3 curriculum and operations.
7.1.1.5. AETC courses S-V80-B, Emergency Parachute Training, S-V84-A, Underwater
Egress Training, and S-V89-A, SERE Specialist Indoctrination, were added as prerequisites to
3-skill level training.
7.2. SERE Specialist Indoctrination (SSI):
7.2.1. SSI was added, as a prerequisite to S-V81-A, to increase candidates physical
preparedness for three-level training, provide instruction and practice performing gross motor
skills associated with SERE Specialist duties, provide inoculation from stresses associated with
field operations, and motivate candidates toward a career as a SERE Specialist:
7.2.1.1. SSI will be preceded by S-V80-A, S-V80-B, S-V84-A, and S-V90-A.
12

7.2.1.2. SSI will incorporate a CrossFit physical training program.

7.2.1.3. SSI will provide field experiences encompassing both static and mobile training.
Training will increase in duration and degree of difficulty from very simple to that expected of a
three-level trainee during the first days of S-V81-A.
7.2.1.4. SSI will include team building exercises, leadership training, and elementary problem
solving and prioritizing experiences to prepare candidates for, and provide a foundation for,
SERE Specialist training.
7.2.1.5. SSI will include an S-V80-A observation trip to allow candidates to see the field
training mission from the cadre perspective and to motivate them toward a career as a SERE
Specialist.
7.3. Apprentice Level (3):
7.3.1. Basic parachutist training was added as a 3-skill level requirement. Students will graduate
S-V81-A and immediately proceed to Fort Benning, GA for L5AZA1T231; U.S. Army Basic
Airborne School.
7.3.2. The U&TW increased the emphasis on urban evasion and a practical exercise in Section
15, Evasion.
7.3.3. S-V81-A will include a minimum of 50 hours of physical training (PT).
7.3.4. The SERE Specialist career field will use Wilderness Advanced First Aid Training
curriculum provided by a third-party certifier during S-V81-A to fulfill line items in Section 5.
7.3.5. S-V81-A will include Level-C full spectrum captivity post-graduate exercises. Exercises
will include wartime, peacetime governmental, hostage detention, and advanced resistance and
escape components.
7.3.6. S-V81-A will include Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) to Level I.
7.4. Journeyman Level (5):
7.4.1. Requirements for 5-skill level upgrade were adjusted to more accurately depict the career
field requirement and what can be accomplished in the 15-month training window.
7.4.2. The emphasis of 5-skill level upgrade is: ensure core tasks proficiencies are attained,
round out the SERE Specialists experience in the global environments, perfect teaching
techniques, qualify to work autonomously, and excel as a leader in the small group learning
environment.
7.4.3. Apprentices will attend AETC course S-V87-A, Arctic Survival Training, in a class(es)
set aside by AETC specifically for the career field. The S-V87-A curriculum will be modified to
fulfill 5-skill level upgrade requirements.
7.4.4. ANG and AFRC SERE Specialist Apprentices will attend AETC course S-V95-A, SERE
Specialist Field Training Operations, within six months of S-V81-A graduation.
7.4.5. ANG and AFRC SERE Specialist Journeymen will follow a mission-ready master
training plan developed by the AFRC and the ANG.
7.5. Mission-Ready (MR) Training:
7.5.1. Change in the Air Force SERE Program from an initial training focus to fulfilling the
SERE Program triad of initial training, continuation training, and SERE operations has resulted
13

in a need to provide a SERE Specialist trained beyond 5-skill level requirements to perform
missions outside the 336 TRG:
7.5.1.1. Accordingly, the career field will seek a stabilized tour to ensure SERE Specialists are
assigned to the 336 TRG for 36 months following S-V81-A graduation. This will allow the
career field time to develop capabilities necessary to successfully conduct the full range of SERE
missions. To facilitate SERE Specialists extended assignment at first duty station, the career
field will encourage six-year enlistments for all new AF accessions contracted as 1T0s.
7.5.2. Mission-Ready Training will emphasize: CAC training, SERE deployed operations,
emergency parachute deployment, and Wilderness Advanced First Aid recertification.
7.5.3. The U&TW moved SERE 260, Joint Resistance Instructor Training, to a MR
requirement, recognizing that the need for this training does not coincide with SERE Specialists
5-skill level upgrade. This course prepares SERE Specialists for duties associated with conduct
after capture training, including CoCCT. SERE 260 must precede assignment to conduct
Resistance & Escape (R&E) instructor duties in S-V80-A.
7.5.4. The U&TW recognized the need to add PR-210, PR-240, and a PR-250A (4-day course)
equivalent course as MR requirements. These courses prepare SERE Specialists for duties
associated with full spectrum operations.
7.5.5. 5-Level mission-ready upgrade will include Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP)
to Level II.
7.6. Craftsman Level (7):
7.6.1. Significant changes have been made to J3ACP1T070000, Survival, Evasion, Resistance,
and Escape (SERE) 7-Level Upgrade. The focus of the course is planning, executing, and
managing SERE operations and enhancing the Craftsmens practical experience in the desert,
tropic, captivity, and urban environments.
7.7. Core Tasks Level (5- and 7-Skill Level):
7.7.1. Line Items 9.1.1. and 9.1.2. are identified by a 2b in Column 5a and brought to the
3c level in Column 5b. Trainees begin learning to instruct TTP in the temperate
environment, during the Familiarization Phase of course S-V81-A, and continue during Teaching
Techniques and Integrated Phases. Line item 10.1.1. (Arctic), is identified as a - in Column
5a and brought to a 3c level in Column 5b during 5-level training. Line item 10.1.2.
(Arctic) is identified as a - in Column 5a, brought to a 3c level in Column 5b. Line items
11.1.1. (Desert), 12.1.1. (Tropic), and 13.1.1. (Coastal), are identified as a 2b in Column 5a
and brought to a 3c level in Column 5b during 5-level training. Line items 11.1.2. (Desert),
12.1.2. (Tropic), and 13.1.2. (Coastal) are identified as a - in Column 5a and brought to a
3c level in Column 5b. Line items 11.1.2. (Desert), 12.1.2. (Tropic), and 13.1.2. (Coastal)
are culminated by accomplishing all sub tasks within each of the environments, therefore there is
no proficiency level identified:
7.7.1.1. The intention of these line items is to enable the supervisor to certify SERE Specialists
in these core tasks (5- & 7-skill level) without the need to circle each of the related sub-tasks
identified by particular Master Task Listings (MTL). These core task line items represent the
cumulative knowledge and skills of the associated sub-tasks obtained during the 3-skill level
awarding course S-V81-A, and 5- and 7-skill level upgrade training. SERE Specialists are
qualified in the sub-tasks represented under each of these core task line items at the proficiency
level represented for each grade level. This allows supervisors to track qualification/certification
of skills required in these core areas without having to physically evaluate each related sub-task.
14

SERE Specialist duty location and mission area responsibilities dictate the level of detail
required for a particular MTL.
7.7.1.2. For example, if assigned in an area that predominantly requires duties in a desert
environment, IAW AFI 36-2201 Vol 3, Air Force Program on the Job Training Administration,
the supervisor evaluates the newly arrived SERE Specialists' capability to Instruct SERE tactics,
techniques, and procedures (TTP) in the Desert Environment." The MTL for that duty location
may require some or all of the Desert section tasks to be circled. If it is determined that the SERE
Specialist is deficient in one or more sub-tasks, then circle the appropriate line items in the JQS,
and provide training to satisfy the specific requirements for the duty center. Since the SERE
Specialist who is working predominantly in a desert area, may also be qualified to perform duties
in an arctic environment, qualification is accomplished by circling and certifying line item
number 12.1.1., Instruct SERE TTP in the Arctic Environment. That duty location is unlikely
to have sub-tasks within the Arctic section circled. This reduces the number of line items that
must be physically tracked according to specific MTLs. The use of this concept for these line
items makes this CFETP a more efficient and useful tool for the supervisor, while maintaining
the necessary integrity of the core tasks and sub-tasks required to perform SERE Specialist duties
and the intentions of the Instructional Systems Development Process (ISD) and Enlisted
Specialist Training (EST) procedures.
7.7.2. All Resistance & Escape training will be accomplished across the full spectrum of
captivity.
7.8. Proficiency Training:
7.8.1. Military Parachutist Courses: SERE Parachutists are required to have subject matter
expertise in basic, advanced, and emergency military parachuting procedures. SERE Parachutists
are required to instruct emergency parachuting procedures during SERE CoCT and CoCCT
programs. Additionally, SERE Parachutists conduct developmental and operational test and
evaluation of SERE related egress and life support equipment. Experienced SERE Parachutists
perform Personnel Parachuting Program Manager (PPPM) duties for MAJCOMs, Groups, and
unit level. SERE Parachutists are also assigned to AFMCs Test Parachutist Program (TPP) to
conduct intentional MFF aircrew emergency B-22 qualification training and testing. SERE
Parachutists fill instructor positions at the Military Freefall School teaching the basic Freefall
Course, MFF Jumpmaster Course, and the Advanced Military Freefall Course:
7.8.1.1. Military Freefall School.
7.8.1.2. Advanced Military Freefall School.
7.8.1.3. Static Line Jumpmaster Course.
7.8.1.4. Military Freefall Jumpmaster Course.
7.8.2. Air Operations Center Initial Qualification Training (AOCIQT): Provides SERE
Specialists the qualification to work in an AOC. This fulfills the formal training requirement for
SEI 901.
7.8.3. Introduction to Personnel Recovery (PR102): Provides SERE Specialists an introduction
to working in a JPRC.
7.8.4. Personnel Recovery Plans and Operations Course (PR301): Provides SERE Specialists
the qualification to work in a JPRC. This fulfills the formal training requirement for SEI 901.

Section D Resource Constraints
11. Purpose. This section identifies known resource constraints, which preclude optimal/desired
training from being developed or conducted, including time, manpower, experience, and cost. A
narrative explanation 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 date. Resource constraints will be, as a
minimum, reviewed and updated annually:
11.1. Constraints:
11.1.1. 80 funded training billets per year for course L5AZA1T231, US Army Basic Airborne
School:
11.1.1.1. Facilitates line items 2.7. Perform parachutist duties. AETC/A3ZA has requested
and justified training billets through AETC/A2/3.
11.1.2. Jump billets, equipment, air support, and Aircrew Flight Equipment Specialist support
at 336 TRG to qualify 80 SERE Specialists per year to deploy the emergency parachute.
11.1.3. MTT for 80 SERE Specialists per year for JPRA course PR-210, Joint Personnel
Recovery Controller Course:
11.1.3.1. Supports the MR 5-Level column of Chapter 16, Part II of the CFETP, Personnel
Recovery. AF/A3O-AS will request MTTs in annual JFCOM data calls.
11.1.4. 80 training billets per year for course PR-240, Personnel Recovery Debriefers Course:
11.1.4.1. Supports line items 2.2.4. SERE Debrief and 2.2.5. Reintegration Program.

11.1.5.1. Supports the MR 5-Level column of Chapter 17, Part II of the CFETP, Resistance.
AF/A30-AS will request training seats in annual JFCOM data calls.
11.1.6. Determine manning authorization changes necessary to facilitate first term SERE
Specialists remaining in 336 TRG for 36 months after tech school graduation to achieve MR
status. Also, request manning study to account for overhead necessary to train the career field to
MR status:
11.1.6.1. New requirement to train the SERE Specialist career field, for 5-level MR status
beyond skill level upgrade requirements, will require additional manning. With current manning,
336 TRG cannot train SERE Specialists to MR status without impacting the AETC formal SERE
training mission. AF/A3O-AS and AETC A3ZA will coordinate a manning study with the Air
Force Manpower Agency to determine appropriate manning for the 336 TRGs formal SERE
training mission and SERE Specialist MR training mission.
21

11.1.7. Develop curriculum and course resource estimate for course S-V89-A, SERE Specialist
Indoctrination:
11.1.7.1. The September 2007, AFSO 21 event on SERE Specialist accessions recommended a
course to bridge the gap between SERE Specialist Selection and SERE Specialist technical
training. The SERE Specialist Indoctrination will acclimate candidates to training regimens, will
develop gross motor skills necessary for success in SERE Specialist training, will provide
exposures to the field training environment to reduce environmental stress, and will use a
CrossFit program to develop physical fitness specifically aimed at success in SERE Specialist
Training.
11.1.8. Develop curriculum and course resource estimate for course S-V95-A, SERE Specialist
Field Training Operations:
11.1.8.1. ANG and AFRC SERE Specialist Apprentices must be trained in field training
operations to ensure a standard experience for all SERE Specialists transitioning from
Apprentice to Journeyman and to ensure the total force SERE Specialist career field obtains the
skills and experience that can only be gained by performing field training operations in the
22 TRS.
11.1.9. Arctic survival training curriculum for SERE Specialists:
11.1.9.1. Supports the 5-Level column of Chapter 10, Part II of the CFETP, Arctic.
336 TRG will develop a curriculum package to fit within the S-V87-A course construct for
training three level SERE Specialists. AETC/A3ZA will work with AETC/A3RF to schedule the
appropriate amount of SERE Specialist-only S-V87-A classes to facilitate five level upgrade for
the career field.
11.1.9.2. Reengineer accession timing and SERE Specialist Selection Courses to allow time for
SERE Specialist candidates to complete all prerequisite courses.
PART II
Section A Specialty Training Standard
1. Implementation. This STS will be used for technical training provided by AETC for classes
starting NLT April 2008.
2. Purpose: As prescribed in AFI 36-2201 Vol 3, this STS:
2.1. Tasks, Knowledge, and Technical References. Lists in column 1, the tasks, knowledge, and
technical references (TRs) necessary for airmen to perform in the 3-skill level AFSC awarding
course, JRTIC, and as well as, core tasks required for OJT in the SERE Specialist career field.
These are based on an analysis of the duties in AIR FORCE ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION
DIRECTORY (AFECD). The TRs listed in a header block indicate that the same TRs are used
for all sub-tasks listed below that header.
2.2. Formal training requirements:
2.2.1. Column 5a shows the level to which the task/knowledge training has been
accomplished by the training center, during course S-V81-A, SERE Specialist Training, course
(3-skill level). The proficiency codes used in column 5a indicates the level of training required
for developing courseware for the 3-skill level awarding course.
2.2.2. Column 5b shows the level to which the task/knowledge training is accomplished
during 5-level training. The proficiency codes used in column 5a indicates the level of training
22

required for developing courseware for the S-V95-A, SERE Specialist Field Training
Operations.
2.2.3. Column 5c shows the level to which the task/knowledge training is accomplished by
the mission-ready training.
2.2.4. Column 5d shows the level to which the task/knowledge training is accomplished
during J3ACP1T070000, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) 7-Level Upgrade,
course. The proficiency codes used in column 5a indicates the level of training required for
developing courseware for the 7-skill level awarding course.
2.2.5. Column 5e shows the level to which the task/knowledge training is accomplished
during 7-level training.
2.3. Core skills and required training levels. Column 2 identifies Air Force minimum core task
training requirements for award of 1T051 and 1T071 AFSC. SERE Specialist personnel are
trained in unit OJT and formal courses for skill level upgrade. Circle current duty position task
number. If in upgrade training, all duty position requirements, to include core tasks
commensurate with the skill level in training for, will be identified. After an individual has
completed upgrade training and has received their new skill level, only the tasks that are specific
to their duty position will be required to be maintained and identified. All remaining task
numbers that are circled and are no longer required for an individuals duty position, including
core tasks, will have the circles erased. Personnel that are not trained to the appropriate core
skills task levels, or who fail to maintain standards, or who are downgraded should be entered
into remedial training. Unit commanders should review records and pertinent information on
personnel who fail to maintain standards after remedial training for removal from the career
field. Requests for waivers to a core skill training level are discouraged, but are coordinated
through the MAJCOM SERE MFM for approval recommendation or final disapproval. Waiver
requests with an approval recommendation are forwarded to the AFCFM for a final decision.
2.4. OJT certification columns. Column 5 provides OJT certification columns to record
completion of task and knowledge training requirements. Certification is accomplished as
outlined in AFI 36-2201 Vol 3.
2.5. Training Standard. Becomes a job qualification standard for OJT, when placed in
AF Form 623, On-The-Job Training Record, and used according to AFI 36-2201 Vol 3. 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 and meets local requirements for accuracy, timeliness, and correct use of
procedures for the listed knowledge and/or skill task level.
2.6. Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) and Specialty Knowledge Tests (SKTs). The
CFETP is also a guide for development of promotion tests used in the WAPS. Specialty
Knowledge Tests are developed at the USAF Occupational Measurement Squadron by Senior
NCOs, with extensive practical experience in their career fields. The test 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 in chapter 1, paragraph 1.19 of AFI 36.2605, Air Force
Personnel Testing System.
2.7. Upgrade Certification Procedures. Prior to upgrade, all 1T0X1 personnel, regardless of
duty position, must satisfactorily complete 1T0X1 Career Knowledge training commensurate
with upgrade skill level. Trainees must also meet AFSC experience requirements outlined in AIR
FORCE ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION DIRECTORY (AFECD) and be task certified on
5-level or 7-level core tasks. Workcenter supervisors may not defer selected core tasks without
23

MFM approval and AFCFM waiver to training policy. Deferment actions will be coordinated
with the unit training office, MFM, and AFCFM. Workcenters may add local upgrade core tasks
and nonmandatory tasks. Continue to accomplish completion of nonmandatory tasks pertinent to
the units, as tasks become available for training.
2.8. Post-Graduate Evaluation. Following completion of course S-V81-A, all graduates and
their supervisors must accomplish the written "post-graduate evaluation" within 90 days.
336 TRSS/DOT will provide the post-graduate evaluations to supervisors of the graduates.
Results of the graduate evaluation will be forwarded to HQ USAF/A30S and HQ AETC/A3ZA
within 6 months of course completion.
3. Records Documentation.
3.1. Identification. Enter trainee's and supervisors/trainers identification data on the JQS
identification page.
3.2. Certification. Certify tasks as follows ensuring all annotations are in pencil:
3.2.1. Circle current duty position task number. If in upgrade training, all duty position
requirements, to include core tasks commensurate with the skill level in training for, will be
identified. After an individual has completed upgrade training and has received their new skill
level, only the tasks that are specific to their duty position will be required to be maintained and
identified. All remaining task numbers, that are circled and are no longer required for an
individuals duty position, including core tasks, will have the circles erased.
3.2.2. As task training starts, enter the training start date in column 4a.
3.2.3. If a task is listed as remove/install or has more than one noun or verb, and training cannot
be completed on the entire task, circle the noun or verb that applies.
3.2.4. When the trainee and trainer agree to task proficiency, the trainee will initial the trainee
block (column 4c). The trainer will enter completion date in column 4b and will initial in the
trainer block (column 4d).
3.3. Decertification. To decertify an individual, who is no longer proficient at a required task,
"X" out the "completion date" block and erase the start date, trainer, certifier and trainee's
initials. Annotate AF IMT 623A, On-The-Job Training Record Continuation Sheet, to reflect the
reason for decertification.
3.4. Recertification. Once retraining is started, enter the new training start date. After
completing the task to a "go" level, recertify following procedures in paragraph 3.2.
3.5. Transcribing CFETPs. Transcribing documentation to a new CFETP is an administrative
function, not a re-evaluation of training. For tasks previously certified and required in the current
duty position, circle the subparagraph number next to the task statement and enter the current
date in the completion column. Trainee initials in the trainee column and the current task certifier
or supervisor/trainer initials in the trainer column. Remember, during the transcription process no
training is taking place; therefore, the trainers initial are not required. For non-core task
previously certified and required in the current duty position, evaluate current qualifications and
when verified, recertify using current date, as completion date and enter trainees and trainers
initials. When transcribing previous certification for tasks not required in the current duty
position, carry forward only the previous completion date of certification (not the initials of
another person). If and when transcribed tasks become duty position requirements, recertify
using standard certification procedures. The person whose initials appear in the trainer or
24

certifier block, during the transcription process, must meet the requirements of their respective
roles. Upon completion of the transcription process, give the old CFETP to the member.
4. Proficiency Code Key. The table, on page 26, contains the proficiency code key used to

Section E MAJCOM Unique Requirements

1. Guidance from HQ USAF/DPPE during development of the 1T0X1 CFETP precludes the
use of MAJCOM directed Job Qualification Standards (JQS) or Command Job Qualification
Standards (CJQS). The purpose of the CFETP is to provide one "cradle to grave" document to
manage training of personnel in the SERE Specialist career field. However, recognizing
MAJCOMs may have command unique training requirements, MAJCOMs may identify
command unique requirements or attachments to this section. The requirements or attachments in
this section of the CFETP accomplish the objectives of any previous command written and
disseminated CJQS. They will also ensure proper training of their personnel to meet command or
mission requirements not fulfilled by the Specialty Training Standard (STS) in Part II, Section A.
2. MAJCOMs will review command unique training requirements during the annual CFETP
review and submit any desired changes to the Career Field Manager for review and approval. If
an STS supplemental attachment is required, MAJCOMs will list requirements over and above
the core STS requirements listed in Part II, Section A, in STS format.
