hAnDbook | | Forward The Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) is a dynamic organization serving more than 270,000 registered students. As the DoD leader in voluntary education, the college is your greatest resource towards fulfilling your professional development goals. Additionally, you have many other resources, such as career counselors, education counselors, and mentors in and outside of your Air Force Specialty. They can help you develop an individualized career pathway that aligns with your personal values, benefits your career, and prepares you for an exciting occupation when you separate from the Service. The Air Force Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (AFCOOL) program has been designed to be an integral part of that pathway. Consider that a welder is not work ready until they have passed an AWS certification, a person with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing is not a Registered Nurse until they pass their NCLEX exam, and a person with a Juris Doctorate is not a lawyer until they have passed their state’s bar exam. The concept of certification and licensure is not new and has been an essential part of work readiness for centuries. When you develop your career pathway you can blend both academic and professional industry recognized credentials into a tailored workforce solution. AFCOOL is your source for obtaining and funding voluntary industry recognized credentials, certifications, and licensures. This handbook is written to provide clear guidance on how to access and use your AFCOOL benefits, in compliance with DAFI 36-2670, Total Force Development and DoDI 1322.33, DoD Credentialing Programs, while serving in the Armed Forces. It also outlines the roles played by various entities as well as clearly defining the roles of unit leadership, individual supervisors, and you as the member. The AFCOOL staff continues to work very hard to respond to member’s concerns and to remain engaged in continuous process improvement to increase program efficacy and customer service. This handbook is meant to be an essential guide in assisting you to fulfill your professional development goals. Best of luck in this worthy endeavor! JASON M.
