Two locations maintained by SZTAKI—in Budapest and Győr, respectively—provide infrastructure for learning factory programs, primarily in layout and process planning, and process execution. In addition to project-oriented work successfully hosted by the facilities for several years, the development of repeatable and evolvable learning content began in 2019. A preceding publication presented a roadmap for the development of re-usable courses based on outcomes of one-shot projects which built up an initial infrastructure. This paper gives an in-progress view at selected dimensions of learning content and course development. In view of recent additions to available infrastructure, an extended portfolio of design and scenario choices is presented with suggested sets of options which can be opened up for elaboration by course participants. Complementing these, typical course types are also summarized, with special emphasis on options likely to be deployed in the current operating context of the facilities.
