level of training
In instructional
design, this is the level of understanding at which educational
material aims. Many methods of classifying cognitive level
exist. The table below combines David Merrill's component
display theory and Benjamin Bloom's educational objectives
taxonomy:

For most training
programs -- e.g., those for HIPAA
-- education that aims at mere memorization of "knowledge"
will not be sufficient. It is use of the knowledge that counts,
which requires enough comprehension to apply rules in day-to-day
situations.
Needless to say,
training materials must also be at the appropriate "cognitive
level" as that term is used in common discourse: viz.,
written for the educational level of the target audience.
