The Air Force has taken initiatives to deliver training and education more quickly, to more people, for fewer dollars. Air Force people now have access to more than 1,000 Information Technology courses on line, thanks to the opening of the Air Force Computer Based Training System's Central Site. It includes an IT course software library, help desk, user registration service and metrics collection capability.
All users can access courses through the central site now.
Off-base users will continue to access courses through the central site, and can either take the courses on line or download them to their PCs. Progress reports on user metrics will be maintained at the central site, with local data being passed during off-peak hours. Force planners will use metrics to track proficiency progress and manage their programs. Air Education and Training Command is exploring ways to integrate CBT into curricula to get the most value from in-residence training programs. Proprietary software is needed to take courses in either download or liveplay modes.
