The airlines and their regulators do the training. Boeing do not train you. Airbus I guess the same. the first ten or so training captains go to Seattle and learn the ropes. They then cascade that down through the airline.

example
Boeing- Select Flap 1
Airline 1- PF CALLS FLAP 1. PM REPEATS “FLAP1.?” PF NOTES CORRECT REPETION OF COMMAND. PM SELECTS FLAP 1, PM NOTES FLAP MOVEMENT. PM CALLS FLAP 1 ONCE F1 IS SET
Airline 2 PF CALLS F1 - PM selects F1
There are several ways to do this and Boeing are not involfved unless your procedures go against their advice
Whilst obviously true for the general case, perhaps somewhat simplistic in the case of disseminstion of information ON and training FOR introduction of an aircraft type with MCAS, a new and quite different approach to meeting stability and control requirements ?
