Learner Personas are fictitious but realistic profiles, based on actual data, of the individuals you expect to attend your training classes. Your learner persona will have a name, age, gender and maybe some details about their life and what motivates them.

Sometimes, you will need to develop several personas if you have a wide variety of people in a class.
