Role Overview
The
Academy Administrator is responsible for coordinating the day-to-day
administrative operations of the Synkron Training Center and ensuring a
professional, seamless and responsive experience for trainees, candidates,
clients, trainers and training partners throughout the learning journey.
The
role serves as the primary administrative and client-service coordination point
for the Training Center, supporting candidates from initial enquiry and
registration through onboarding, training attendance, assessment, certification
and post-training follow-up. The Academy Administrator coordinates training
calendars, registrations, candidate communication, training logistics,
attendance, records, certification documentation, learning-platform
administration, client follow-up and general Training Center administration,
working closely with the Training Specialist and Junior Trainer so that
trainers can focus on high-quality technical delivery.
As
the Synkron Training Center develops its external commercial training
portfolio, the role also supports client enquiries, training proposals and
quotations, participant registration, payment follow-up, customer feedback,
repeat-training opportunities and the maintenance of strong relationships with
corporate and individual trainees – making the role central to creating an
organized, responsive and high-quality academy experience that strengthens the
Synkron Training Center brand.
Key Responsibilities
1. Candidate & Trainee Client Service: Serve as the
primary administrative contact for candidates and trainees, managing enquiries
received through email, telephone, website, walk-ins, training platforms and
client referrals, providing accurate course and registration information, and
escalating technical or complex enquiries to the Training Specialist.
2. Candidate Registration & Training Onboarding:
Coordinate the complete trainee registration process – receiving and processing
applications, registration forms, candidate information, supporting documents
and payment confirmations, confirming eligibility, issuing training
confirmations and joining instructions, and maintaining complete and accurate
trainee files.
3. Training Calendar & Scheduling Coordination:
Maintain the Training Center's master training calendar, coordinating course
dates, trainer and room availability, laboratory and equipment requirements,
client-site sessions, virtual training and OEM programs, avoiding scheduling
conflicts and communicating changes promptly to all stakeholders.
4. Training Session Administration: Coordinate all
administrative requirements before, during and after each training session –
confirming participant lists, joining instructions, attendance registers, room
bookings and materials before training; supporting check-in, attendance
tracking and logistics during training; and coordinating attendance
reconciliation, feedback collection, assessment documentation, certificate
processing and candidate follow-up afterward.
5. Learner Experience & Engagement: Monitor the
candidate experience throughout each training program, follow up on absences
and missed sessions, maintain professional and responsive communication with
trainees, and ensure complaints and concerns are recorded, followed through and
appropriately resolved or escalated.
6. Client & Corporate Training Coordination: Support
corporate clients enrolling employees into Training Center programs, serving as
the administrative coordination contact for assigned corporate engagements,
coordinating participant nominations, logistics, attendance and certification
documentation, and maintaining records to support repeat business and
relationship management.
7. Training Records, Certification & LMS
Administration: Maintain accurate and complete Training Center records
(participant, registration, attendance, assessment, feedback, completion and
certification records), coordinate the administrative certification process,
and manage participant profiles, course enrolment, access and reporting within
the learning management system.
8. Training Logistics, Reporting & General Center
Administration: Coordinate logistical requirements for Training Center
activities (rooms, materials, refreshments, signage, travel), prepare regular
administrative and training reports, manage correspondence and office/training
supplies, and support the development and continuous improvement of Training
Center administrative SOPs.
