• Monitoring training programme health through KPIs and programme health reports
• Analyzing programme health via monitoring, trending, and reporting on KPIs, self-assessments, benchmarking, and observations
• Supporting fleet initiatives/programmes, including the Instructor Training Programme, through active participation in a Training Specialist Peer Group
• Reviewing training materials to ensure quality and adherence to standards
• Mentoring and advising Instructors, Training Programme Owners, and Training Committee Members on the Systematic Approach to Training
• Coaching instructors by observing sessions and providing feedback
• Producing and delivering ongoing training for instructors, incorporating adult learning theory, remote and in-person delivery techniques, and the affective learning domain
