-This is a new lesson built with [The Carpentries Workbench][workbench]. 
+![Welcome to Performance Profiling & Optimisation (Python) Training!
+](episodes/fig/pando-python-hex-sticker.png){
+alt='Performance Profiling & Optimisation (Python) Training'
+style='padding: 2%'}
 
+The training curriculum for this course is designed for researchers that are writing Python and lack formal training. The curriculum covers how to assess where time is being spent during execution of a Python program, it also provides a high level understanding of how code executes and how this maps to the limiting factors of performance.
 
-[workbench]: https://carpentries.github.io/sandpaper-docs
+If you are now comfortable using Python, this course may be of interest to supplement and advance your programming knowledge. This course is particularly relevant if you are writing research code and desire greater confidence that your code is both performant and suitable for publication.
 
+<!-- TODO: course duration? -->
+<!-- TODO: confident code syllabus? -->
+
+
+## Learning Objectives
+<!-- Aim for 3-4 objectives for every 6 hours of training -->
+<!-- SMART Objectives
+    - Specific
+    - Measureable
+    - Attainable (within the span of the course)
+    - Relevant
+    - Time-bound (implicitly the length of the course)
+-->
+<!-- Evaluation tool: https://web.cs.manchester.ac.uk/iloadvisor/ -->
+After attending this training, participants will be able to:
+
+- identify the most expensive functions and lines of code using `cprofile` and `line_profiler`.
+- evaluate code to determine the limiting factors of it's performance.
+- recognise and implement optimisations for common limiting factors of performance.
+
+::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::  prereq
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before joining Performance Profiling & Optimisation (Python) Training, participants should be able to:
+
+- implement basic algorithms in Python
+- follow the control flow of Python code, and dry run the execution in their head or on paper.
+
+See the [Research Computing Training Hub](https://sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.uk/research-training/research-training) for other courses to help with learning these skills.
+<!-- TODO: could make a dedicated page (like https://carpentries.github.io/lesson-development-training/markdown-github-primer.html) that highlights specific courses/resources. -->
