Context you provide

• {{course_topic}}: The subject area of the training program (e.g., customer service, leadership, digital marketing, cybersecurity).
• {{specific_skills_or_topics}}: The key skills or topics to cover within the course (e.g., conflict resolution, strategic thinking, SEO, threat detection).
• {{target_audience}}: Who the training is for (e.g., new hires, mid-level managers, IT staff).
• {{training_format}}: (optional) Preferred format (e.g., in-person workshop, e-learning, blended).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing details before starting.
2. Based on the provided inputs, design a curriculum structure that includes modules, learning objectives, key content points, and suggested activities or assessments per module.
3. For each module, indicate expected duration, delivery method, and materials needed.
4. Incorporate best practices for adult learning and engagement.
5. Offer recommendations for supplementary resources (videos, readings, exercises).

Output format Present the curriculum as a table or outline with columns: Module Name, Learning Objectives, Content Summary, Activities/Assessments, Duration, Resources. Follow with a brief narrative on how to adapt the curriculum for different audiences. Keep tone informative and practical. Length: 400–600 words.
