As experts in military training, education, and professional development programs, Training Development Officers are responsible for ensuring quality and quantity control of training, guiding the development, management, and delivery of training solutions, teaching in various settings, and managing learning resources. They also conduct human performance research, analyze operational job performance requirements, identify organizational needs, and facilitate solutions to performance issues.
