Foundation Courses & The Airmanship Continuum

A total of 84 JBSA "A"irmen were selected to test and offer feedback on the forthcoming Air Force Foundation course material for JEFC 300, NCOFC 500, and SNCOFC 700.

The new Enlisted Force Development Model: Enlisted Airmanship Continuum 100–900 connects institutional, functional and base delivered education, training and experiences. The Enlisted Airmanship Continuum is first introduced at basic military training, reinforced by foundational competencies in each AFSC’s career field education and training plan, and embedded throughout the entire continuum.

Foundations Courses will replace our base-level professional enhancement seminars beginning October 2023 and become prerequisite courses for EPME in FY25. Content for all foundations courses will be updated and standardized by the Barnes Center, with the intent to remain current and relevant to maintain our competitive advantage. Foundations courses will be administered by base Development Advisors with support from local NCOs, SNCOs and subject matter experts. The duration for each level is five days: four days standardized content and one day MAJCOM/WG specific focus.

Transition from FTAC to FTEC

Beginning 1 January 2024, the First Term Air-men’s Course (FTAC) underwent a name change, now officially designated as the First Term Enlisted Course (FTEC), encompassing both our Airmen and Guardian service members. FTEC is de-signed to establish essential foundations, ensuring that Airmen and Guardians are thoroughly equipped to embark on their initial assignment at their respective duty locations.
