Col. Dale Parsons, TPS director of special courses. The most recent one focused on core competencies of flight operations, maintenance, and engineering. It even included flights to demonstrate flight test theories in practice.
The Air Force plans to offer virtual enlisted Foundations courses Airmen can take at their convenience as part of a larger effort to modernize enlisted professional military education, or EPME.
