I seen the one on sniper teams from UK on the History Channel. As I recall for at least Marine Commando Sniper teams they both had to pass the training. The senior man was the Team Leader, but best shot usually was the sniper while the other did spotting.
Both had to be trained snipers for two reason. To be able to move in and positions without giving themselves away. The spotter having training as sniper and use of the entire weapon system would be better able to give accurate information from the spotter scope to sniper to get a hit.
