Professional development Published March 23, 2017 By Kenji Thuloweit 412th Test Wing Public Affairs EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The March 2017 First Term Airman’s Center class poses for a group photo on the rooftop patio area of Club Muroc March 17. FTAC is a five-day course that provides informative briefings and training for newly assigned Airmen who have just arrived at their first permanent duty station. Upon completion of the course, Airmen will be better able to transition out of the technical training environment and into the operational Air Force. The latest class ran from March 13-17. The Edwards Professional Development team also offers Airman Professional Enhancement Courses. The program is an expansion of what the First Term Airman’s Center already has to offer. Enlisted instructors and base leadership want to create a culture of development with a constant focus on professional development. In support of that goal, professional development classes are available for junior Airmen through senior NCOs and up to captains. Each class can seat up to 34 students and will be held in Bldg. 2460, Room A – a classroom behind the Education Center on Methusa Rd. Interested Airmen can search “Edwards AFB Professional Enhancement Campus” online for more information and to sign up, or call 277-3301.
