+1 to this explanation Anthony.

Once learning objectives have been created, it will make it much easier 
to develop relevant training courses for specific products, which can 
reference back to the training objectives.

And if the development of base course material is set up along similar 
collaborative principles to Open Source development, then the relatively 
high effort of maintaining training material could be absorbed by the 
product's community (probably through a combination of developers, users 
and trainers).
