All 30 AFTB training modules were designed to be taught independently or in conjunction with one another. Although most classes are usually a minimum of 60 minutes, they may be modified, depending on the audience, to take between 30 to 90 minutes.
Training requests for 6 or more people are accepted anytime. While most AFTB classes have been developed for military family members, classes are routinely modified to suit the needs of Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, retirees, and DA civilians. On Joint Base Lewis-McChord, they can also be modified for Air Force units.
