CCAF offers the CCAF Instructor Certification (CIC) Program for qualified instructors who teach CCAF collegiate-level credit awarding courses at a CCAF affiliated school. The CIC is a professional credential that recognizes the instructor's extensive faculty development training, education and qualification required to teach a CCAF course, and formally acknowledges the instructor's practical teaching experience. Qualified officer, enlisted, civilian and other service instructors are eligible for this certification.

NOTE: The CIC Program replaced the CCAF Occupational Instructor Certification (OIC) Program, which officially closed on 1 January 2011. The OIC is equivalent to the CIC-II. Members who were awarded the OIC after 31 March 2006 can request their awarded OIC be converted to the new CIC-II. To request conversion, members must send an E-mail to ccaf.deal@us.af.mil requesting their awarded OIC be converted to the CIC-II. Within the E-mail, include a mailing address and the last four of their SSAN. Members who were awarded the OIC prior to 1 April 2006 may not have their awarded OIC converted to the CIC-II due to the difference in published program requirements.

As mentioned in the "Requirements to earn this certificate" section, individuals must meet all the "Eligibility" and "CIC Program Requirements" to earn the certificate.
