Over the same average timeframe, approximately 30% of the workload is associated with on-site computer training and Air Force quality training course development and instruction. In addition to the above workload, approximately 5% of the time is associated with managing the SMC Education/Training Management System, an AFMC developed automated system to track and manage training needs identification and quota allocation based on occupation training templates.
