- There are two primary uses of this class. It may be considered a full-working level as an instructor/trainer who generally will not develop entire courses for presentation but rather obtains a training program and administers it as an instructor with some modifications to fit the varying situations. Training is typically within a fairly narrow area and often involves skill acquisition or refinement. It can include a training coordination, orientation, evaluation and documentation component with contract trainers. The second use allows departments to bring in critical subject matter experts and provide them an opportunity to learn training theory including course development. These positions would be distinguished from the first usage by original course development based on the needs assessment and course objectives they identified. They would also have responsibility for a broader range of training within an organization. The second use is an authorized underfill for the Training Specialist class.
