Training with specialist skills I imagine would end up being easier than general tactical skills, since these specialists are usually organized into dedicated cells. Training could be done by setting up what is essentially a training cell, which supplies training in the same way a bombmaking cell would supply IEDs. Commanders could pass down orders to a cell stating that their most knowledgeable member is to be transferred to Cell T (The training cell, though they should only be told it is an honorable and elite cell, both to maintain OPSEC and to make sure they don't send a bumblefuck)– if there are many cells of the same specialty then Commanders could request something like a resume be sent on behalf of each cell's most knowledgeable individual. Once the training cell is established with experts from most specialist fields then classes can begin: new and under-performing individuals can be reported by the cell leader to a regional commander, who can then send a request for training up to the Commander, who will notify Cell T. Once there are enough individuals for a class, all cells that have reported an individual in need of training will be told that those individuals will report to a certain building on X date and expect them to be gone for Y weeks. The trainer should give a fake name and give the impression that he is simply a lone benefactor helping the organization, perhaps claiming some former education or professional experience to justify all his knowledge.

Alternatively, intelligent members could be identified and sent to an over-performing cell as an "apprentice" in order to learn how they operate and build a training plan around those operations (working of course with the cell leader to ensure accuracy,) which could either be used to establish Cell T using similarly intelligent "apprentices" or the training plans could be sent to every cell to be used for intracell training. I should also mention that this all assumes that this is a relatively large organization. In smaller organizations training would probably be intracell.

This is all off-the-cuff, there are probably several glaring errors here, feel free to point them out.

Typically cells are a bit larger than this and tied to geography. For example Hezbollah divided 270 villages of south lebanon into cells of 12 villages and subcells of 2-3 villages. They then did "feed forward logistics" to insure that each cell could continue operation for 6 weeks without resupply. The reason for this is that in a war of attrition geography is one of the most important advantages the occupied force has. Other than the symantics though I quite like these ideas, you of course have the issue of individuals knowing their peers in this training unit, but perhaps that's not the end of the world? If it was I guess classes could just be made one on one (maybe for training of higher ups).

Wouldn't having classes with people from multiple cells somewhat defeat the purpose of having cells in the first place? Unless you can prevent the trainees from learning anything about the other people there it seems safer to just send one trainee at a time even if it wouldn't be as efficient.
