The Continuum of Learning is a label for a new learning paradigm for the United States Air Force. Included in this paradigm are: modularized learning that is made available to Airmen across their careers rather than in concentrated, episodic opportunities; on-command and on- demand learning, meaning Airmen will receive the learning opportunities the Air Force requires but also be afforded opportunities to learn about topics specific to their individual learning needs and desired; competency-based learning, meaning an outcomes-focused approach that credentials Airmen with the skills and knowledge they have demonstrated in performance; and a Master Airman Learning Record that tracks all developmental initiatives.
Air Education and Training Command is taking a different look at how people learn and hopes to make a more efficient path for pilots to earn their wings through the Pilot Training Next initiative.
