• audience
• objectives
• scope (topics to be covered)

• How have you (or how should you) addressed the issue of equity in your training plan?
• How would you adjust your plan if one of the trainees had a disability that prevents him or her from from sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time?
• What are the possible issues with a training group that contains only employees in their 20s and 30s? How would you ensure that you are complying with relevant employment regulations in this case?
