In most companies the Checker tends to be one of the more senior trainers before becoming a checker. By default this implies they should be the best trainers-more exposure/experience. If the individual is not then they should be removed from both roles immediately. A checker should be able to identify the problems, apply remedial training and then reassess unless the candidate has major faults. If so, the checkers training ability should allow them to identify appropriate remedial training so that the required standard is reached. If you can't train then you can't do this. On a side note a Check and Trainer-or TRE where I am, allows the most operational flexibilty from an operational (Company) point of view as there is no job they can't do.
