Sitecore Training - Part 1, or Sitecore Foundation Training Agenda

In my previous company, I was requested to help new team members getting knowing Sitecore. Most of the newcomers are never worked with CMS before, specially Front-End developers and QA team, and the training need to cover basics, so they can become more familiar with Sitecore.

So I created agenda what topics need to be covered for someone, who never work with Sitecore before. You can use this list to have structured plan how to start study.
