disagree  Charlie Bavington: since it's a training course, and the other subjects include templates and workflow, I would suggest it's about training users to use the system, and this is almost certainly a reference to data entry (on screens, most likely).

Just another option - "capture" sure seems more like "saisie" to me than "acquisition".
