IAAFA Courses 2003

COURSES

Courses are conducted at IAAFA based on the direction and guidance of AETC and the IAAFA Commandant. The major source of customer feedback is IAAFA’s training requirements assessment visits (TRAVs) program. The intention of the program is to visit SAOs, host country training personnel, and operational units approximately every 18 months to identify their training requirements and to evaluate IAAFA’s curriculum. Another source is direct feedback from students during and after end-of-course critiques.

COURSE DESIGN

Training at IAAFA is conducted in Spanish.

Students achieving a cumulative grade of 70% or above will have completed their respective courses successfully and will receive a diploma at a graduation ceremony. Those who do not achieve the minimum of 70% may be returned to their country with a letter of attendance and a letter explaining the failure with recommendations for additional training.

a. Basic Courses. Basic courses are designed for entry-level training in the respective career field and are designed to complement in-country training programs. They cover the fundamental skills and knowledge to enable the student to perform on the job under the supervision of an experienced individual. Graduates are semi-skilled and can progress to the fully-skilled level by undergoing on-the-job training.

b. Advanced Courses. These courses are designed to train individuals in specific systems primarily at the specialist or supervisor level. A list of advanced courses is found in Sections III and IV.

NOTE: Students scheduled to attend these courses must have completed, as a minimum, a basic course in the related field or have at least two years of practical experience in the specialty in addition to meeting all other prerequisites.

COURSE NUMBERS

DOD Military Articles and Services List (MASL) numbers should be used in all communications with IAAFA and AFSAT. This is the primary course identifier.
