Explanation:
I know that's "Fortgeschrittenenkurs" but in this case it should work equally fine.

Thanks for all the interesting suggestions. The context (Verkaufstraining) suggests that some trainin g has already been done, so advanced training is I think the right choice here.

neutral  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): in fact 'Aufbau' means a step ahead (compared to a 'Basiskurs' or 'Grundkurs' etc)!

Sales training module


Explanation:
Somewhere in the back of my mind lurks another expression, but it refuses to come to the surface. I do know these sessions as "modules", where you have to follow a certain course, starting with module 1, or basic course, and then to the next module in the series.
... Training Module - Part 1. ... Training Module - Part 2. ... Training Module - Part 3. ... Training Module - Part 4. ... Accessory Material to the Training Module. ...
