Narrative:

I was working the radar assist position; transferred out aircraft X at FL400 at oatss and aircraft Y at FL400 at natss; utilizing degrees divergence in the transition from radar to oceanic non-radar separation. Advised the radar controller that aircraft Y would need to be on the airway after natss as aircraft X already was on the airway after oatss to establish the required separation criteria and that they would need to wait until the fixes to terminate radar or establish them on the airways prior to the fix. The radar controller then cleared the aircraft to deviate direct to natss and oatss when able; terminated them both and switched them to arinc. I do not believe that the radar controller; nor many people at ZUA understand what it means to terminate radar and that it is our responsibility to establish the transition into oceanic non-radar separation.the training program here is dismal and does not properly teach the airspace and requirements of terminal radar to enroute radar to domestic non-radar and oceanic non-radar. It really just address's the terminal radar in the [simulator lab] and then it appears a lot of people here look for ZOA to tell them what we can or can't do when we transfer aircraft out.
