</training_brief>
Build the complete training module:
1. **Learning objectives** — 3-5 specific, measurable outcomes (use action verbs: demonstrate, apply, identify, create).
2. **Module outline** — sections with time allocation, ordered for progressive difficulty.
3. **Lesson content** — full written content for each section. Include explanations, real-world examples specific to the business, and common mistakes to avoid.
4. **Practical exercises** — 2-3 hands-on activities per section. Include scenario-based exercises, not just knowledge recall.
5. **Assessment** — 10 questions mixing multiple choice (6), scenario-based (3), and one practical task. Include answer key with explanations.
6. **Manager facilitation guide** — talking points, discussion questions, and how to evaluate whether the training worked.
7. **Quick reference card** — a one-page cheat sheet the employee can keep at their desk.
Notes: Claude excels at structured educational content. For tool training, paste the actual UI descriptions or screenshots. For process training, paste your existing SOP and Claude will restructure it into learning-optimized format.
