Just because there isn't a formal training unit in a particular location, doesn't mean training can't be done. I can't speak for the US military, but in Commonwealth militaries (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc) one of the first things an NCO learns, and usually as a requirement of promotion from Private to Lance Corporal (or it's equivalent), is how to conduct lessons.

NCO's and Officers get rotated between units with some likely having spent a year or more with an actual training unit teaching recruits and specific job skills. Officers generally conduct less actual teaching and more admin/leadership tasks though - in my experience probably only one in fifty lessons is done by an officer or senior NCO, except for those lessons where the students are NCOs or above themselves.
