  The use of conceptual models to foster requirements engineering has been
proposed and evaluated as beneficial for several decades. For instance,
goal-oriented requirements engineering or the specification of scenarios are
commonly done using conceptual models. Bringing such model-based requirements
engineering approaches into industrial practice typically requires industrial
training. In this paper, we report lessons learned from a training program for
teaching industry professionals model-based requirements engineering.
Particularly, we as educators and learners report experiences from designing
the training program, conducting the actual training, and applying the
instructed material in our day-to-day work. From these findings we provide
guidelines for educators designing requirements engineering courses for
industry professionals.
