Adapt to changing schedules, program updates, and evolving training requirements.
Comply with all school policies and the Conduct of Training Manual (CTM).
Maintain classrooms, laboratories, and training facilities in a clean, safe, and serviceable condition.
Control, mark, and analyze Enabling Checks (ECs) and Performance Checks (PCs).
Advise Course Directors regarding deficient or unserviceable training aids and facilities.
Prepare and provide lesson plans, evaluations, assessments, and course documentation.
Record student performance in Student Record Books (SRBs).
Assist with counselling students regarding academic and performance concerns.
Invigilate examinations.
Participate in course design and development activities.
Provide Subject Matter Expert (SME) support as required.
