    • Workshops
    • Conferences and technical meetings
  • Develop written and practical examinations to assess learning outcomes.
  • Establish evaluation criteria to measure the effectiveness of training programs.
  • Collaborate with engineering, program management, sales, and marketing teams to identify training requirements and obtain technical data.
  • Remain current with advancements in:
    • Learning theory
    • Adult learning principles
    • Motivation theory
    • Emerging instructional technologies and methods
  • Confer with management, employees, and customers to understand operational changes, policy updates, regulatory requirements, and evolving technologies.
  • Support training program planning, scheduling, and resource coordination.
  • Evaluate and/or oversee contractors or vendors engaged in training development or delivery.
  • Familiarity with FAA policies, procedures, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical concepts into effective training content.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
