Modern Training Curriculum Documentation Template

Hey team!

Some of us are either developing internal training programs for our teams or selling training courses. To help brainstorm ways to clearly communicate the scope, content, and objectives of a training program, I’ve put together this proposed template. Feel free to adjust it to your needs.

Clearly defining the value and approach of your training will not only attract the right audience but also ensure participants are aligned beforehand, leading to better engagement and higher satisfaction. Additionally, having a structured framework will make it easier to gather feedback and continuously improve your training offering.
