Learning objectives are simple statements that explain what a learner should know or can do after training. They set the goal for each lesson. These goals help keep the course focused and easy to follow. Good learning objectives are part of every strong training program. They shape the course outline and guide curriculum design. That means each lesson has a clear purpose and supports what the learner needs.
