I have to say it's a real surprise that at a large aerospace company, of all organisations, they had to get a lawyer to teach a formal class on this topic.
It's internal legal department training, that I took on as a project at the reccomendation of my boss. Being able to tell a 747 from a 737 is not critical for our job, but it is nice to be able to "put a face" to the name of the aircraft on which one can find our product.
Every new hire in the company goes through an intensive two-day course to learn the basics of the product we produce.
