In which part of CFETP is the Specialty Training Standard located?

• A. Part I
• B. Part II
• C. Part III
• D. Part IV

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the training standard for a specialty is organized separately from the general duties and from the course listings. The Specialty Training Standard is the detailed set of tasks and knowledge that define what a member must learn and demonstrate to qualify in the specialty. It sits in Part II of the CFETP so that the actual standards for training and qualification are clear and centralized, independent of the broader specialty description found in Part I or the course catalog in Part III, and separate from implementation details in Part IV. In short, the Specialty Training Standard belongs in Part II because that section is dedicated to defining the specific competencies and performance criteria used to train and upgrade personnel.
