Questions and answers

How does CFETP0020 define competencies?

The DAF defines competencies as a combination of knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics that manifest in observable and measurable patterns of behavior required for mission success. (paragraph 4)

How are competency assessments integrated with on-the-job training?

A competency assessment is not a static process or just another checklist. It is a way to assess individuals on a set of competencies (based on a competency model of the job) that are critical to job and organizational success. (paragraph 4)

How should Community Planners document training requirements and completion?

Use the IDP at Part II Section C to document training requirements and completion of formal training requirements. Each Planner’s IDP should be developed to ensure that the planner builds basic competencies and skills for DAF planning within 5 years of employment. (paragraph 4)

How much planning-related training is required for Community Planners?

The Under Secretary of Defense AT&L has directed the DoD to provide education and training for planning personnel and develop a method to report on planner competencies, defined as 32 hours of training biennially. (paragraph 1)

Who is eligible for tuition assistance?

Funds are available for individuals who are permanent full-time appropriated fund employees (including wage grades). Applicants must currently have an acceptable performance appraisal rating and have an approved education goal in AFVEC (https://afvec.us.af.mil/afvec/public/welcome).
