On Deck, In Charge

You arrive with the room buzzing—tables set, gear staged, and your roster ready. After a quick check that everything is in working order, you welcome a mix of first-timers and returning participants, set expectations, and keep the pace lively while staying laser-focused on Safety. Between skill stations, you reset equipment, answer questions one-on-one, and keep the group engaged and on track. As the session wraps, you confirm documentation is complete, note any supply or equipment needs, and sync up on upcoming class times so the next training window is ready to launch.
