trainer
A person who is responsible for the vocational training of others, especially trainees, and teaches them practical and theoretical knowledge.
Mein Ausbilder im Betrieb hat mir alles Wichtige gezeigt.
My trainer at the company showed me everything important.
'Der Ausbilder' (the trainer) is derived from the verb 'ausbilden' (to train). The ending '-er' refers to a male person who performs the action of the verb. This pattern is very common in German.
Der neue Ausbilder stellt sich heute dem Team vor.
The new trainer is introducing himself to the team today.
The word belongs to a family related to vocational training: the verb is 'ausbilden' (to train), the process is called 'die Ausbildung' (training/vocational training), and the person learning is 'der Auszubildende' (the trainee), often shortened to 'Azubi'.
Die Ausbildung zum Mechatroniker dauert dreieinhalb Jahre.
The training to become a mechatronics technician takes three and a half years.
The term 'Ausbilder' (trainer) is closely connected with the German system of dual vocational training. It refers to the person in a company who is responsible for the practical guidance of trainees.
Jeder Auszubildende hat einen festen Ausbilder als Ansprechpartner.
Every trainee has a fixed trainer as a contact person.
teacher
'der Lehrer' and 'der Ausbilder' both pass on knowledge and explain how to learn something. A 'Lehrer' usually works in a school and teaches general subjects. An 'Ausbilder' is responsible for vocational training, for example in a company, and shows trainees practical and theoretical things for a job. The words can be confused because both teach something. When it is about school and school subjects, 'Lehrer' fits better. When it is about job training, 'Ausbilder' is more precise.
Morgen zeigt uns der Ausbilder, wie man die Maschine sicher benutzt.
Tomorrow the trainer will show us how to use the machine safely.
Der Lehrer bereitet die Klasse am Abend auf die Prüfung vor.
In the evening, the teacher prepares the class for the exam.
