Hi
Which of below sentences makes more sense to you more from English point of you? In particular, which one should I use

Training Materials
Training Topics
Training Subjects

How would you write it yourself? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
++++++++++++
1) Trainers should be able to explain the training materials in very clear and concise language.

2) Trainers should be able to explain the training topics in very clear and concise language.

3) Trainers should be able to explain the training subjects in very clear and concise language.

Training materials are not the same as topics or
subjects.

It's about clear and concise language.

If we just tick the box she learns nothing, and that's
why Leza's English has never improved in the years she's
been asking AUE for help with job applications.

Maybe if she did her own homework instead of cribbing
answers, she'd have more luck keeping a job.

Sets and subsets:

A. Training Topics
1. Training Subjects
a. Training Materials

Be concise AND organized, dear.

Entirely relevant. She needs to decide whether she wants to say 1) or
2), because they have different meanings.

In any case, "training" needs to be deleted from 2) and 3).

Imagine a question:

Which makes more sense in English?
You must take your pill.
You must take your lesson.

With a response:

Pills are not the same type of thing as lessons.

Technically, that's a very relevant response to the question, even if
it doesn't answer the question.

If we don't know what thing is being referred to, we can't tell you the
best way to refer to that thing. I view Janet's response as trying to
ascertain the former, or at least an indicator that the ambiguity is there.
