USA Training Integrators or Training Managers define required curriculum content, develop training plans to meet mission requirements, and implement the plans. Their work includes integrating, coordinating, and scheduling complex training flows requiring basic knowledge of the entire curriculum, with some training flows taking up to two years to complete. USA maintains detailed training records and metrics from a training records database to aid in continually improving the quality of training.

USA Instructors are degreed engineers from accredited schools and are certified to teach specific classes or lessons. They are continually evaluated and maintain high standards in order to retain their certification.

USA currently uses a "Top Gun" approach to develop instructors, wherein instructors are generally first certified as Flight Controllers. As they gain experience in operations, some are selected to become instructors. Many instructors retain their Flight Controller certification and perform both functions.

USA Instructor areas of expertise include vehicle systems flight control, Extravehicular Activity (EVA or space walks), robotics, in-flight maintenance, and crew systems/crew escape skills- based instruction. Instructors teach in many different training venues including classroom, part-task trainers, mockups, laboratories, and simulators.

Standardization of lesson format ensures consistent evaluation standards are documented and used when evaluating students during the certification process.

As part of our continuous improvement philosophy, USA Training personnel investigate, evaluate, and implement new instructional technologies and methods. Potential new technologies/methods are found during academic research, seminars, and by benchmarking other commercial, military, and Government training organizations.

USA has met the challenges of providing technical training to crewmembers onboard a remote and complex facility by developing and implementing training regimens that target training at both the functional skill base and at task base levels. By using both types of technical training philosophies, USA provides flexible and agile training resources that meet the needs of a wide variety of technical challenges.
