• Ensure training artefacts support safety arguments for devices, workshops and facilities.

• Develop and maintain standardised Training Cell operator and maintainer packages (courseware, manuals, logbooks, task sheets and assessments).
• Maintain controlled competency/training documentation for maintainers, operators and instructors.
• Ensure training materials align with engineering configuration and TSMS controls.

• Maintain configuration control of manuals, SSOWs, procedures and engineering-related training documentation.
• Track engineering changes, deviations and device modifications to ensure training content accuracy.
