CP training falls into three categories: initial, refresher, and recurring. Units will develop andimplement a training program for all three categories using MAJCOM MTP developed using the AFstandardized MTP core documents (MTL, ATP and POI) posted on the AF Knowledge Now websiteunder the “AF Command Post” CoP (https://afkm.wpafb.af.mil). Instructional System Development(ISD) is the official AF process for training personnel and developing instruction materials. To ensurelearning activities are based on the desired learning outcome, AFMAN 36-2234, Instructional SystemDevelopment, should be used. Other training systems meeting or exceeding the ISD standard may beused provided the desired learning outcome is achieved. MAJCOMs may prescribe ISD training forunit CP Training Managers at their discretion.7.1.2. The goal of using ISD or a comparable system is to increase the effectiveness and cost-efficiencyof education and training by fitting CP training and instructions to the job. With ISD, CP trainingproducts are constantly evaluated for improvement and quality. Other systems must provide anevaluation capability comparable to ISD.7.1.3. Prior to performing unsupervised duties, CP personnel will be trained and certified IAW thisinstruction and MAJCOM supplements. Certification equates to qualification. Consequently, all CPpersonnel must be trained, certified, and maintain certification to support worldwide deploymentrequirements.7.1.4. Training manager requirements are established in Chapter 3 of this AFI.7.1.5. All training will be administered by a CP controller certified in the duties/tasks being trained.Task trainers must be recommended by their supervisor, qualified to perform the task being trained,and have completed the Air Force Training Course. Training managers must maintain a copy of eachtask trainer’s AF Training Course certificate in the Training and Certification Binder.7.1.6. CP Chief/Superintendent will periodically review the progress of trainees in initial/refreshercertification training and evaluate feedback to ensure training remains effective. This review will bedocumented on the controller-training outline (CTO).7.2. MTP. The MTP consists of the MTL, the ATP, POIs, examples of completed AF controller trainingforms mandated by the AFI, evaluation scenario scripts and self-study letters. The MTP contains specificinstructions for documenting and administering the controller-training program. The AF CP communityhas developed a standard MTL/ATP/POI that MAJCOMs/units must use as the basis for the MTP.7.3. Creating the Unit Training Plan (UTP). The UTP is the AF and MAJCOM MTP tailored to meet unitneeds. All units will create a UTP. CP managers will ensure the UTP is used to train personnel during initial,recurring and refresher training.7.3.1. Units will not deviate from the direction listed below when creating their UTP without writtenapproval from their respective MAJCOM.
