In your context why not just "master craftsman"?

Or of course \"master electrician\", or whatever, if you can tell from the context exactly what WW is qualified in.

: Ausbildung- is "überflüssig" (and not common use) in German; these people are Meister (one of their task being the education of apprentices). IMO only in bigger industrial companies you may need a Meister especially engaged in this task.

: and with silfilla - I'd add (their trainer). That said, "larger industrial companies" are the main clientele for translations of this kind, I would say.

: It really depends on your context, but I would include "trainer" or "instructor" in my translation...............

I agree - see silfilla and Deborah's comments and my responses. But let's not forget that it's a press release, not a company handbook or CV... ;-)

Yes, it's probably better with instructor or trainer, but in Asker's context leaving it out wouldn't be a sin.

: I was going to put "apprentice trainer" but most of the time it would probably be understood to mean someone who is training to be a trainer
