Live Instructor Monitoring
Watch your operators in real time while they run evolutions. See gauge readings, control positions, and safety events as they happen — from your office, the training room, or your phone.
Real-Time Gauge Mirror
See the trainee's pump panel gauges updating live on your screen. Discharge pressure, intake, RPM, and flow rate are mirrored in real time so you see exactly what the operator sees.
Multi-Session Dashboard
Monitor multiple trainees running evolutions simultaneously. Each session shows a compact status card with key gauges, elapsed time, and safety status. Click any card to expand the full view.
Safety Event Alerts
Get instant visual alerts when a trainee triggers a safety event — cavitation, over-pressure, overheating, or tank depletion. The alert appears on the monitoring dashboard without needing to watch every gauge.
No Additional Hardware
The monitoring view runs in any web browser. No cameras, no special software, no network configuration. If you can access PumpForge, you can monitor live sessions.
Instructor Notes
Add timestamped notes during a live session. Your observations are attached to the trainee's After Action Report for review during the debrief. Notes are visible only to instructors and admins.
Session History
Every monitored session is logged. Review which sessions you observed, when you observed them, and any notes you added. Useful for documenting instructor involvement in training records.
What the instructor actually sees
When a trainee starts an evolution, their session appears in your Live Monitor list. Open it and you're looking at their run as it happens: the discharge and intake pressures they're producing, engine RPM, tank level, which valves they've opened and how far, and the event stream — pump engaged, line charged, pressure spike, cavitation warning — in the order it happens. You're watching decisions, not just gauges.
Coaching in the moment vs. reviewing after
Live monitoring earns its keep in two situations. First, early reps: a new operator's first hydrant evolution is worth watching live, because the mistake you see forming (charging the line before establishing supply, chasing pressure with throttle instead of setting the governor) is a 30-second conversation now versus a failed attempt and a rebuild of confidence later. Second, evaluations: watching a checkride live while the platform scores it gives you both the objective record and your own professional judgment for the evaluation form.
For everything else, use the AAR
You can't watch every rep, and you don't need to. Routine practice runs are better reviewed through the After Action Report, which preserves the same gauge timeline and event stream for every attempt automatically. A practical rhythm: watch each trainee live once early on, then manage by AAR and let the completion notifications tell you where to look.
