English translation:Trainer, Senior trainer
Explanation:
I wouldn't add "manager" to that... Meister is not necessarily a manager, Meister reflects rather that the trainer has gotten a diploma or certification, and/or that he occupies a high range in the trainer's hierarchy

Apprentice instructor


Explanation:
It depends on the type of 'Ausbildung' but for most trades like a mechanic or a ship builder then this could fit with the emphasis on 'Instructor'.

apprentice trainer


Explanation:
Similar to the above; a "Meister" is more like a foreman than a manager (i.e. skilled worker). "Trainer" is perhaps more contemporary than "instructor".
