Maintenance of CFETPs for personnel in retraining status. Maintain CFETP from previous AFSC until commensurate skill level is achieved, then give the obsolete field CFETP to the individual. Decertification and Recertification. When a supervisor determines an airman is unqualified on a task previously certified for their duty position, the supervisor erases the previous certification, or deletes certification when using automated system. Appropriate remarks pertaining to the reason for desertification are entered on the AF Form 623a. Begin recertification (if required) following procedures in documentation paragraph above.

AF Form 623a, On-the-Job Training Record Continuation Sheet. The AF Form 623a will be used to document an individual’s training progression. This form will be used to reflect status, counseling, and breaks in training. Just about anything may be documented on the 623a as long as it pertains to the members’ training. Examples include initial CDC issue, CDC completion schedule, explanations of delays in CDC completion or training requirements, problems encountered with task certification (if any), and any training related counseling statements. When used for training-related counseling, include strengths, weaknesses, areas to improve, and means to improve. Both the supervisor and the trainee must sign and date any entry. Maintain the AF Form 623a as long as it pertains to the current training objective (i.e., award of the skill level or completion of qualification training). The supervisor will determine if any additional AF Form 623a will remain in the training record.

Supervisors take a minute to read this page again AF Form 623a, On-the-Job Training Record Continuation Sheet. AFI36-2201 states that the supervisor will make notations on the 623a “as required” which is an ambiguous term. Generally, at a minimum, supervisors should periodically: 1. Check the upgrade training status of the trainees appointed to them. 2. Check the trainees’ OJT records for errors or training opportunities and/or shortfalls. 3. As required, make a notation on the trainees’ 623a giving training status of OJT, CDC, and Ancillary training. A lack of notations on the 623a for long periods would give the appearance of a lack of training whether one existed or not. Remember, the ultimate responsibility for the members’ 623 OJT training record falls upon THE SUPERVISOR. Although, the trainee has a vested interest in his/her own training records and should remain responsible for their own records. Supervisors take a minute to read this page again

Conclusion Hopefully this slide show will help you learn the proper way to maintain your training records. Any questions or support needed in how to maintain the AF Form 623 or any other training question can be referred to your Unit Training Manager.
