What does Part I of the CFETP provide?

Part I of the CFETP, or the Career Field Education and Training Plan, provides an overview of the overall management of specialties within a given career field. This includes outlining the necessary training and education requirements for those in the specialty, focusing on the competencies and performance expectations that personnel are expected to achieve. It sets the framework for the technical training that service members receive and ensures that there is a structured plan in place for career progression and skill development.

This section serves as a comprehensive guide, detailing how various specialties interrelate and helping to manage the workforce effectively. It doesn’t delve into specific day-to-day equipment usage, training schedules, or assessment criteria directly, but instead lays the groundwork for how those elements fit into the broader scope of specialty management and career development.
