SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas — Tech training transformation continues at the 82nd Training Wing as instructors from the 364th Training Squadron’s Cable and Antennae School built and implemented a confined space simulator in January 2024.
The 77-academic day apprentice course has four instructional blocks that cover working in confined spaces. Previously, the training was conducted through lectures followed by hands-on experience in an outdoor maintenance hole. The new simulator bridges the classroom and confined space environments in a way that increases training effectiveness by embracing a “see it, practice it, do it” philosophy.
