AFC-56 TRAINING FUNDS REQUEST PROCESSES AND PROCESS FLOWCHART
A. NEW COURSE.
(1) Program Manager determines that there may be a need for a new training course to help
bridge a performance gap.
(2) Program Manager consults with G-WTT, Training Manager to schedule a Front End
Analysis (FEA).
(3) If the FEA results indicate that a new course is not needed, then the Program Manager
works with Training Manager to develop an alternate solution.
(4) If the FEA results indicate that a new course is needed, then the Program Manager works
with G-WTT to identify deficient skills and knowledge.
(5) Program Manager presents to Class `C' Quota/Funds Prioritization Panel for funding
approval
(6) Proceed to paragraph B. for Existing Course procedures.
B. EXISTING COURSE.
(1) The Program Manager must determine how many people need to be trained in a particular
skill/topic at any point in time. Once that number is determined, the Program Manager
decides how many people must be trained annually to maintain that level. This is done by
taking the total number who need to be trained at any point in time and dividing it by the
appropriate rotation factor:
TOUR LENGTH (yrs)
ROTATION FACTOR

3.5

1.0
(2) Once the annual quota requirements have been set, the Program Manager must categorize
each quota requested for a course using the AFC-56 Class `C' Courses Quota
Categorization Nine Step process. All of the quotas may be placed in the same category or
they may be distributed among many categories
