      "heading": "The premature conclusion: more quizzes would be enough",
      "point": "One might conclude that train-the-trainer programmes should focus on teaching people to produce more quizzes."

    {
      "heading": "The limits: do not confuse language with competence",
      "point": "Experiments on remembering texts do not directly demonstrate the effectiveness of training in complex procedures, and the transfer review is not a study specific to Genève."

      "heading": "A practical check in Genève",
      "point": "Within SHR’s « Formation de formateurs » programme, one possible exercise would be to develop a hypothetical Genève case: a sensitive request in private banking, document approval in an international organisation, watchmaking quality control or exception handling in commodity trading."
