“In the last several months, we’ve worked on deliberate plans to correct these policies,” added Presuto.
Some of those updates include corrections to journeyman, 5-skill level, and craftsman, 7-skill level, upgrades.
“This required significant reprogramming of our system, and you likely noticed a temporary removal of the original credit,” said Presuto in the same memo. “Please do not panic.”
Presuto added that the CCAF team cares about its students’ academic journey and is expecting to provide credit for those experiences in the proper formats over the next two to three weeks. The CCAF team is making Airmen who are set to retire, separate or be promoted a priority.
According to memorandum sent out by the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Education and Training Section, Airmen who have their education and training progress documented in their career field training and education plans will receive credit for their journeyman and craftsman upgrades.
Even though the credits will only be applicable to students’ technical electives, they will receive nine semester hours for their journeyman upgrade and six semester hours for their craftsman upgrade.
The Wright-Patterson Training and Education Section encourages students to review their CCAF progress reports for the most up-to-date information and to see how their credits were applied by going to the Air Force Virtual Education Center's website: https://afvec.us.af.mil/afvec/Home.aspx.

Although Air University received its accreditation in 2004, the CCAF was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges in 1980, according to the CCAF website.
